Spec Sheet
Ensuring RFID Success—Automatically
Autopilot
Senses, Congures, Adapts—24/7
RF interference, tag quantity, ambient RF noise, and even building materials
near an RFID installation all affect system performance. Most users configure
their readers for worst case scenarios, often compromising best performance
in the process. With the Speedway Revolution’s Autopilot, innovative firmware
features work together, automatically optimizing the reader operation to its
environment—delivering peak performance at all times.
> Autoset continuously optimizes the reader’s configuration for the best,
most reliable performance. The Speedway Revolution senses levels of RF
noise and interference, automatically selecting the appropriate settings.
> Low duty cycle reduces RF interference, power consumption, and energy
costs. The Speedway Revolution only transmits when tags are in the field,
helping to clear the air of unnecessary RF noise.
> Dynamic antenna switching improves throughput and helps the reader
work more efficiently. Speedway Revolution senses where tags are in the field and automatically focuses
more time on the antennas with the largest tag populations in view. For example, if a low-height pallet
follows taller pallets through a portal, the Speedway Revolution reduces time spent on antennas in the
upper positions.
And the Speedway Revolution improves upon the advanced hardware capabilities which made the original
Speedway the reader of choice for many demanding customers
—capabilities such as best receive sensitivity,
interference rejection, and item-level carrier cancellation.

Application environments are dynamic. Does your reader keep up?
Did you define your RFID deployment carefully? Did you think of every scenario, anticipate all the ways
the system could break and what to do when that happened? And it worked beautifully in the lab, but
then the real world threw you some curve balls?
Perhaps you designed your system for cases and pallets. But now you want to track items too?
Maybe you desire expert RFID performance but don’t have an RFID expert?
Do you want a system that will continue to function well, even as your business grows and changes?
Impinj’s latest fixed reader, the Speedway
®
Revolution, solves these situations and more. It builds
upon the industry-leading reputation of the original Speedway with new innovations to raise the
performance bar even higher. Best of all, the Autopilot features ease deployment and maintenance.
