description: "\n    UHF RFID (Ultra-High Frequency Radio Frequency Identification)\n\
  \    reader based on ThingMagic Mercury5e (M5e) and Mercury5e-Compact\n    (M5e-C)\
  \ modules.  ThingMagic's highly-capable Gen2 UHF RFID\n    modules interact with\
  \ low-cost &quot;smart labels&quot; (tags) at distances\n    up to 6 meters depending\
  \ on choice of antennas (distances over 100\n    meters possible using highly-directive\
  \ antennas!) even without\n    line-of-sight visibility, as RF penetrates most non-conducting\n\
  \    materials.  The reader can simultaneously query for hundreds of\n    tags in\
  \ the environment at once or query for presence / absence of\n    a individual tag\
  \ among a sea of others.  A stand-alone Python\n    library is provided as well\
  \ as ROS wrappers.\n  "
