MB700
Part of the MB series
Multiregional RAIN RFID module with +33 dBm and 1,100 tags/s
The MB700 is the top MB module: Impinj Ex10 chip in 32 x 36 x 4 mm, up to +33 dBm, -86 dBm sensitivity and 1,100 tags/s. For OEMs building long-range readers that must ship in any region.
You build long-range readers that must read many tags fast and ship to any region. Top of the MB line: up to +33 dBm, 1,100 tags/s and -86 dBm, in 32 x 36 x 4 mm.
Lower volume or shorter range? The MB300 or MB500 does the job with less output power.

Questions we hear
What is the difference between MB and SAM?
Both are 32 x 36 x 4 mm modules with an Impinj Ex10 chip and a dual-core MCU. SAM lets you bypass the MCU and reach the chip directly, and has more I/O.
How is it powered and certified?
From a 5 V supply. It is FCC and Anatel certified, and software sets the band within 865 to 928 MHz.
