The ThingMagic USB Desktop RFID Reader is a low cost platform
for developing and deploying interactive read/write applications. Driven by
ThingMagic's Mercury 5e-Compact UHF RFID reader module, the USB RFID Reader is
controlled and powered by a desktop or notebook PC. Supporting ThingMagic's
application development tools, the USB RFID Reader's small size, integrated
antenna, ease of deployment and low cost make it ideal for application
developers.
