Works with the Symbol AR400 and XR400 Reader.
Comprehensive RFID Antenna
Solutions for Diverse Application Needs
Radio Frequency Identification
(RFID) Antennas from Symbol Technologies offer versatility and performance to
meet diverse application needs. When used in conjunction with Symbol’s RFID
systems, communication with Electronic Product Code (EPC™)-compliant RFID tags
is accurate, fast and efficient. Vital components in reader-tag communications,
Symbol offers highly efficient dual-directional panel array, high-performance
area, and general purpose antennas to meet the needs of any RFID solution.
High-Performance Area Antennas
for High-Capacity, High-Throughput Environments
High-Performance Area Antennas
are general-purpose antennas for long range and large area RFID tag reading.
Optimized to perform in all environments, these area antennas are easy to mount
on ceilings and walls to create superior read zones around shelves, doorways
and dock doors – anywhere boxes and pallets are moving into and out of a facility.
These packaged, rectangular
antenna arrays offer a wide read field and high-speed RF signal conversion for
fast and optimal communication of EPC-compliant passive tag data. High-Performance
Area Antennas are typically used in applications requiring the longest read
ranges and highest levels of performance. They meet standard technical requirements
for any RFID implementation and are deployment-ready with Symbol RFID readers.
Symbol RFID Antennas –
A Vital RFID System Component
RFID Antennas complement
the portfolio of Symbol enterprise mobility solutions that enable organizations
to capture, move and manage critical information to and from every point of
business activity. These efficient antennas are ideal for high-throughput, highcapacity
communication of EPC-compliant RFID tag data.
