BlueBerry iS UHF is a mobile mini RFID reader, keychain shape, capable of reading UHF tags and transmitting the acquired data to any device equipped with a Bluetooth® radio interface.

The maximum reading distance of the device is 30 cm with far field tag and 2 cm with near field tag.

The use of the RFID reader is easy and intuitive thanks to the presence of a single button, to activate the reading of the UHF tags (1), and an LED and a multi-tone beeper, to alert the operator of the reading.

BlueBerry iS UHF integrates Bluetooth® radio technology, in particular it uses iAP and SPP profiles.

With the SPP profile, data transmission takes place in virtual serial mode, a two-way channel. A simple serial communication protocol, present on all TERTIUM Technology products, allows to manage all the RFID reader functions, in particular the ID scan and the reading / writing of the UHF tag memory (2). With this profile it is possible, in the development phase, to integrate RFID technology in any application or program for mobile devices or desktops or laptops.
The iAP profile is essentially the same as the SPP profile, with full compatibility with iPhone® and iPad® devices.
BlueBerry iS UHF is battery powered. Charging carries out via a micro USB connector.
Through the USB port it is possible to connect the BlueBerry iS UHF to a PC, so that it can also be used as a normal RFID desktop reader. Data transmission on the USB interface takes place in virtual serial mode, a bidirectional channel (managed through the same serial communication protocol as the Bluetooth® SPP interface).
