The UHF Desktop Reader 103 (IDTS-103) is Identium’s current desktop reader-writer for issuing and verifying UHF tags, cards and wristbands at a counter or workstation. It draws power straight from the computer’s USB port — there is no separate power adapter and no driver installation — so a new encoding station is ready in the time it takes to plug in a cable. The deliberately short, adjustable read zone keeps it from picking up stray tags lying nearby, which is exactly what you want when personalising tags one at a time.
Key specifications
- Tag support: ISO 18000-6C and 18000-6B UHF tags, with both read and write operations
- Multi-tag reading capability for small batches on the desk
- Reading radius: up to 30 cm, adjustable to suit the workstation
- Output: serial or HID keyboard mode with configurable output format, so tag IDs can be typed directly into any software field
- Power: USB powered from the connected computer; no external supply and no driver required
- Compact housing that sits unobtrusively beside a keyboard
Applications
- Encoding and issuing UHF cards, wristbands and labels at registration desks
- Library and jewellery counter workstations
- Tag personalisation before despatch in tag production and kitting
- Quality checks on encoded tags in manufacturing and retail back offices

Who buys the Desktop Reader 103 in India
Buyers comparing USB RFID reader price in India usually need exactly this class of device: a compact desktop RFID reader-writer that encodes UHF cards, wristbands and labels one at a time at a counter. The 103 is bought by libraries and jewellery showrooms for counter workstations, by event teams issuing RFID wristbands and RFID cards at registration desks, and by manufacturers doing tag personalisation and quality checks before despatch. Because it is USB powered with no driver and offers HID keyboard output, tag IDs can be typed straight into billing, library management or membership software without integration work. It ships ex-stock from New Delhi with a free demo encoding utility, and pairs naturally with the fixed and handheld models in our wider UHF RFID reader range.
