MB Series
Advanced multiregional RAIN RFID Modules
The Identix MB series is a powerful family of multiregional RAIN RFID System-on-Modules (SOMs) that integrate Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), Wi-Fi, and USB connectivity into a single compact solution.
Performance Variants
MB series is available in three distinct models, each offering different levels of performance to meet a variety of application needs:
MB300: Up to 300 tags/s read rate with -73 dBm maximum RX sensitivity
MB500: Up to 700 tags/s read rate with -81 dBm maximum RX sensitivity
MB700: Up to 1100 tags/s read rate with -89 dBm maximum RX sensitivity
Compact, Powerful, and Versatile
Measuring just 62 mm x 32 x 7 mm, the Identix MB series modules deliver high RFID output power and
support up to four RF antenna ports. With built-in BLE, Wi-Fi, and USB, they’re designed for seamless
integration into a wide range of applications, including:
High-performance handheld devices and sleds
RFID reading stations
Smart shelves and cabinets
Connected refrigerators
Fixed RFID readers
Cutting-Edge RFID Technology
Powered by the latest Impinj Ex10 RAIN RFID reader chips, the MB series delivers industry-leading
performance while maintaining low power consumption. These modules offer multiregional support,
making them ideal for global deployments and helping OEMs reduce costs associated with development, manufacturing, certification, and integration.
High Flexibility for Developers
Each MB module includes an embedded high-performance dual-core 32-bit microcontroller and
generous onboard memory.
Outstanding Range and Power
With programmable RFID output power ranging from 0 dBm to +33 dBm (MB700), MB series modules support long-range tag reading — up to 20 meters or more, depending on the antenna and tag configuration.
