A fixed UHF RFID reader with integrated antenna for one controlled read point. Use it for checkout, order box control, cabinets or desk checks, with Beam Bridge for continuous cloud-connected scanning.
Why choose the Chainway UR1A Integrated RFID Reader
Reader and antenna in one enclosure
9 dBi circularly polarized antenna
Reads up to 1,300+ tags per second
RJ45, RS232 and GPIO interfaces
DC, PoE and PoE+ power options
Suitable for fixed read points and controlled zones
A fixed RFID read point without separate antennas
The UR1A is useful when you want a single fixed RFID device instead of mounting a reader, antenna and cable separately. It is suited to cabinets, benches and controlled pass-through points.
Integrated antenna — 9 dBi RHCP antenna built into the unit
Network interface — RJ45 plus RS232 and GPIO
Fast reads — Up to 1,300+ tag reads per second
Simple hardware for fixed scan locations
Use the UR1A where the scan geometry is known and a built-in antenna is enough: RFID cabinets, intake desks, archive points or compact production checks.
Single unit — Reader, module and antenna combined
GPIO — Interfaces for fixed installation logic
Industrial temperature — Operates from -25 deg C to 65 deg C

Frequently asked questions
Does the UR1A need a separate antenna?
No. The UR1A has an integrated antenna. That is the main difference from the UR4.
Do I need Beam Bridge?
For continuous cloud-connected scanning with Beam, yes. The UR1A itself is the reader and antenna; Beam Bridge makes the fixed point cloud connected.
When should I choose UR4 instead?
Choose UR4 when you need multiple external antennas or a wider/custom antenna layout.
Compatibility is only the beginning.
A reader’s ability to connect does not prove that every tag can be read reliably in every environment. That is why hardware, tags, products, read zones, volumes and exceptions are tested together before any performance commitment becomes part of the scope.
