1INTRODUCTION
Description
The Tile (model R1250I), desktop reader of the easy2read©family, is a RAIN RFID reader with integrated
antenna for short to medium range applications.
The reader is powered and controlled directly by an USB cable, thus allowing to read RAIN RFID tags in an
easy desktop environment.
Thanks to its compact size, the Tile reader is the perfect choice for various applications such as point-of-
sales, document tracking, tag programming stations, access control and so on. It can also be used as a
building block for smart shelves and smart displays.
The Tile reader supports the HID profile (native keyboard emulation) allowing to interact directly with
legacy application, office automation SW or any other generic solution requiring manual input.
Being compliant with both European and US regulatory environments, the Tile reader allows installations in
various countries worldwide as needed by retailers, forwarders, warehouses and other global
organizations.
The core components of the Tile reader are the CAEN RFID QuarkUp module, a top performing ultra-
compact UHF RFID module, and the Quad, a compact circular polarized antenna designed by CAEN RFID.
