RFID Reader with Built-In 8dBi Antenna
This RFID reader with antenna combines the UHF reader and a built-in 8dBi circularly polarized antenna in one housing for fixed RFID tag identification.
Standard frequency options include 902–928 MHz and 865–868 MHz, with other frequency bands available for customization. The reader supports ISO 18000-6C / EPC Gen2 compatible UHF tags.
RF output is adjustable from 0 to 30 dBm through software. The specified standard reading distance is 0–5 m, with up to 8 m under high-power conditions. Actual range depends on the RFID tag and installation environment.
8dBi Integrated Reader and Antenna
The built-in 8dBi circularly polarized antenna combines the RFID reader and antenna in one device, reducing the need for a separate external antenna and RF cable.
The standard read range is 0–5 m, with up to 8 m under high-power conditions. Actual performance depends on the tag, RF output power and site environment.
Two interface configurations are available, with TCP network communication added on the E Type.
