Product Line Overview
22 Introduction
Product Line Overview
The embedded modules were designed to be incorporated into products requiring
powerful RFID capabilities in a small form factor.
The M5e is a small form-factor, low power, low cost Gen2 module. The M5e is ideal for
embedding a powerful RFID module with read and write capabilities into a product or
system.
The M5e-Compact is a smaller version of the M5e. It has one MMCX connector for a
monostatic antenna. The M5e-Compact is ideal for use in hand-held printers and other
applications where size is the highest priority.
