Low Power Usage
With a low power design, Speedway Revolution is capable of using Power over
Ethernet (PoE). Using PoE simplifies deployment and dramatically reduces costs and
greenhouse gas emissions of your RFID infrastructure. Using PoE does not
compromise Speedway Revolution performance. It delivers the full 30 dBm transmit
power

Note
: Using an AC/DC power module, the maximum transmit power is +32.5
dBm. Speedway Revolution supports the IEEE standard 802.3af for PoE.
Compact Form Factor
The compact size of Speedway Revolution, 7.4 x 6.9 x 1.2 inches or
18.8 x 17.5 x 3 cm, eases installation in tight spaces and embedded applications.

Two Models Available
Impinj offers two Speedway Revolution models, with different high performance
monostatic antenna port configurations. The transmitter and receiver use the same
port. The model R220 is a two-port configuration and the R420, shown above, is a
four-port configuration.
