Fixed RFID readers

Chainway UR4 Fixed RFID Reader

A compact four-port fixed UHF RFID reader for antenna-based installations. Use it when you need multiple external antennas at a gate, shelf, dock door or larger zone, with Beam Bridge for continuous cloud-connected scanning.

Why choose the Chainway UR4 Fixed RFID Reader

  • Four antenna ports for zone and gate setups
  • Reads up to 1,300+ tags per second
  • RJ45 and RS232 interfaces
  • Optional PoE/PoE+ power configuration
  • Compact aluminum enclosure
  • Suitable for warehouses, archives and production lines

Build RFID zones with up to four antennas

The UR4 is a compact fixed reader for antenna-based RFID setups. Connect up to four antennas and place the reader near a gate, shelf, cabinet or production zone.

  • Networked reader — RJ45 Ethernet for fixed installations
  • Four ports — Four 50 ohm SMA antenna ports
  • High throughput — Up to 1,300+ tag reads per second

Small reader for practical RFID infrastructure

With a compact aluminum body, air cooling and optional PoE, the UR4 fits well in cabinets and distributed RFID installations where space matters.

  • Compact enclosure — 102.8 x 102.8 x 28 mm
  • Industrial body — Aluminum alloy enclosure
  • GPIO support — Inputs and outputs for integration scenarios

Frequently asked questions

Does the UR4 include antennas and cables?

No. The UR4 includes the reader and power cables. Antennas, antenna cables and Ethernet cables are selected separately for the scanning zone.

What is the difference between UR4 and UR1A?

UR4 is a 4-port reader for external antennas. UR1A has an integrated antenna and is aimed at simpler fixed read points.

Do I need Beam Bridge?

For continuous cloud-connected scanning with Beam, yes. The Beam Bridge connects the fixed reader setup to the Beam platform.

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.
