Chainway - U300 | Fixed RFID Reader

Fixed UHF Reader with Android 11 - in stock at IDCRAFT

The Chainway UR300 is a fixed UHF RFID reader engineered for demanding read scenarios in logistics, manufacturing and retail. What sets it apart from a typical fixed reader is its self-contained Android 11 platform: a 2.0 GHz quad-core CPU, 2 GB RAM and 32 GB Flash storage are built into the housing, which means filtering logic, middleware connectors and edge applications can run directly on the device - no extra industrial PC required inside your control cabinet.

At the RF core sits an Impinj E710 reader chip from the E-Series with full Gen2X support. The result is a fastest read rate of more than 1,300 tags per second, a receive sensitivity of -84 dBm and an adjustable transmit power from +5 to +30 dBm (1 W), optionally up to 33 dBm (2 W) for Latin American frequency plans. Combined with the supported bands of 865-868 MHz, 902-928 MHz and 920-925 MHz, the UR300 covers virtually every regulatory market relevant for global rollouts.

Connectivity is where the UR300 clearly outpaces conventional fixed readers. You get RS-232, an RJ45 10/100 Base-T port, one USB Host, one USB Device, an HDMI Type A output for 720p video, and 4 + 4 isolated GPIO optocouplers. Wireless interfaces include Wi-Fi (IEEE 802.11 b/g/n, 2.4 GHz) and Bluetooth 4.0. Power is flexible too - DC 10-24 V, PoE (802.3af, 13 W) or PoE+ (802.3at, 25.5 W) - which often eliminates a dedicated power feed at the installation site.

The following part numbers are available in the IDCRAFT online shop - each variant is designed for a specific use case:

• U34-U7E-R2A11 - Chainway UR300 Gen2X RFID reader with 4 RP-TNC antenna ports for the European 865-868 MHz frequency range. Equipped with Impinj E710 chipset, 2 GB RAM, 32 GB Flash, Android 11, Bluetooth 4.0, Wi-Fi 2.4 GHz, RS-232, RJ45, USB Host, GPIO and PoE/PoE+. Recommended for compact read gates, tabletop installations and conveyor stations with a moderate antenna count across the EU region.
• U38-U7C-R2A11 - Chainway UR300 Gen2X RFID reader with 8 RP-TNC antenna ports for the FCC 902-928 MHz frequency range. Same platform as the 4-port version (Impinj E710, 2 GB RAM, 32 GB Flash, Android 11, BT 4.0, Wi-Fi, RS-232, RJ45, USB, GPIO, PoE/PoE+) - but with twice the antenna coverage. The right pick for large tunnel readers, multi-dock loading bays and production lines that require many parallel read points.

Mechanically, Chainway uses a fanless aluminium-alloy housing (247 x 151 x 35 mm, 1,000 g) built for continuous industrial duty. The operating range from -25 °C to +65 °C makes the unit suitable for unheated warehouses, outdoor enclosures and production-floor environments.

Technical Highlights

• ISO/IEC 18000-6C / EPC Class 1 Gen 2 - global standard for UHF tag identification
• Impinj E710 with Gen2X - fastest read rate of more than 1,300 tags per second
• Transmit power +5 to +30 dBm (1 W), optional 33 dBm - tunable to range and region
• Multi-power supply DC 10-24 V / PoE / PoE+ - one network cable for power and data
• HDMI 720p + Android 11 + 2 GB RAM / 32 GB Flash - run edge logic directly on the reader

Applications

• Warehouse and logistics management - PoE supply for clean installations at gates and conveyor lines
• Production line tracking - real-time component tracing with on-device Android edge processing
• Library and archive management - compact housing for discreet ceiling and shelf mounting
• Laundry, textile and smart retail tracking - stable reads even in dense tag populations

Buying the Chainway UR300 from IDCRAFT means you get more than just hardware. We work with you to validate the planned antenna layout, the required read range and the frequency regulation of your target market - so you can confidently choose between the 4-port U34-U7E-R2A11 and the 8-port U38-U7C-R2A11 based on actual project needs rather than guesswork.

Thanks to the open Android 11 platform and the documented SDK (Java, Eclipse / Android Studio), the UR300 integrates quickly into existing ERP, WMS and MES environments. The supported EPC Gen2 and ISO 18000-6C protocols guarantee compatibility with all common UHF tags - from standard inlays to on-metal labels and dedicated laundry transponders.

You order a reader that is engineered with attention to detail: low standby current (< 140 mA), silent operation through pure passive cooling, and four or eight RP-TNC ports depending on how you scale. When you order the Chainway UR300 online, you also benefit from direct technical support by IDCRAFT GmbH, transparent pricing and short lead times from our German warehouse.
