Sampo S3 UHF RFID Handheld Reader (EU)

Compact, fixed UHF RFID reader for high-performance edge applications

The Sampo S3 UHF RFID Reader EU is a compact, powerful fixed RFID solution for organizations that want to combine reliability, speed, and simplicity in a single device. This reader is designed for environments where a single RFID reader must be sufficient to cover an entire zone, workspace, or point of sale, without the need for additional external hardware. Its compact and lightweight design makes the Sampo S3 suitable for permanent installation in a wide range of professional environments.

Powerful UHF RFID performance with a long read range

The Sampo S3 is equipped with an integrated NUR3-1W UHF RFID module, which ensures high read performance and stable operation. The reader processes up to 1,000 RFID tags per second and has a read range of up to 10 meters, depending on the tags used and the environment. Thanks to support for the ISO 18000-63 EPC Class 1 Gen2 v2 standard, the Sampo S3 is compatible with common UHF RFID tags used in Europe and in international applications.

Integrated antenna with circular polarization

The reader features a built-in circularly polarized antenna, ensuring reliable reading of RFID tags regardless of their orientation. This is essential in dynamic situations where products are moving, being rotated, or positioned in varying ways. The wide reading angle and uniform coverage ensure consistent performance within the read field, without the need for complex antenna configurations.

Linux platform with integrated edge computing

A key distinguishing feature of the Sampo S3 is its fully integrated Linux computer. The reader is equipped with a quad-core A7 processor, 1 GB of RAM, and 8 GB of flash storage, allowing applications to run directly on the device. This eliminates the need for an external PC or controller. The reader can be fully configured and integrated via the web management interface, RESTful API, NUR API, and SSH access. This makes the Sampo S3 ideal for edge computing and custom RFID solutions.

Versatile connectivity and flexible mounting options

The Sampo S3 offers extensive connectivity options, including Ethernet, USB-C, USB host, GPIO, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth. With support for Power over Ethernet (PoE 802.3at), only a single cable is needed for power and data. Thanks to VESA 75/100 mounting, the reader can be easily attached to walls, ceilings, or workstations, keeping the installation flexible and tidy.

Suitable for professional RFID applications

The Sampo S3 UHF RFID reader is used for applications such as asset tracking, inventory and inspection labels, and identification processes. With an IP20 rating, it is suitable for controlled environments in retail, logistics, manufacturing, and technology-driven sectors. The combination of performance, integrated intelligence, and ease of use makes the Sampo S3 a future-proof fixed RFID reader.
