DR-max
Desktop RAIN RFID reader with Ethernet PoE and +30 dBm
The DR-max adds Ethernet with PoE, GPIO and three external antenna ports to the DR family. With +30 dBm and a built-in +4 dBiC antenna, one network cable powers and connects it.
You want one network cable for power and data, outputs to switch a light, or more than one antenna on a desk. Three external antenna ports and +30 dBm in a desktop body.
Only a USB link at one counter? The DR-mini or DR-pad is simpler. Need four antenna ports? Choose the EM300.

Questions we hear
How is it powered?
Over the network cable with PoE (802.3af/at), or from USB. With PoE, a single cable powers and connects it.
How many antennas can I add?
Three, on its SMA ports, besides the built-in +4 dBiC antenna. For more, use a four-port reader such as the EM300, with a CATENA if needed.
