Times-7 Universal Mounting Plate

Posted by Michael Crudele on

Recently, a client reached out to us to question whether or not we sell/ stock the Times-7 Universal Mounting Plate 71757 for A5010 and A5020’s.

RFID Doorway Antenna System - Times 7 A8065

Posted by Michael Crudele on

Based on the success of the A8060 Doorway RFID antenna, Times-7 has improved this solution and developed two additional complimentary doorway antennas to provide a complete three-sided Doorway Portal Application with a 360° read zone - the new SlimLine A8065 Combo.   This 3 piece solution is tailored for every tag orientation. To achieve the densest read zone, Times-7 has combined three SlimLine Door-frame antennas in three different polarizations: Vertical Linear and Horizontal Linear mounted on the sides and Dual Linear on top of the doorframe. In this way, the application guarantees a reliable 360° read zone regardless of the...

Times-7 A8060 slimline doorway antenna

Posted by Michael Crudele on

Today, a customer came in asking if the Times-7 UHF RFID antenna, part # A8060 was suitable for both FCC & ETSI use.  The answer is that there are typically TWO different models for each and every RFID antenna, one for FCC and one for ETSI.  The only exception is when an antenna is designed as a “wide-band” model that would cover both FCC & ETSI.  In the case of the Times-7 model A8060, there are two different antenna models:   A8060-71416 (for FCC, in stock) /times-7-a8060-71416-25x3-inch-slimline-linear-polarized-door-frame-antenna-fcc.html A8060-71422 (for ETSI, no stock 6-8 weeks) /times-7-a8060-71442-25x3-inch-slimline-linear-polarized-door-frame-antenna-etsi.html   This antenna is super...

Times-7 Introduces New B6031 Low Profile RFID Antenna

Posted by Michael Crudele on

Recently, there was some confusion regarding the all new B6031 antennas introduced by Times-7. These are the next evolution of the A6031 series of FCC and ETSI 11x8.5 inch, circularly polarized panel antennas for 865 and 915 MHz UHF RFID.   I wanted to take a moment to explain what happened with these part #’s. Times-7 had a typo on their original datasheet and did not know it (and neither did we.) That has since been corrected by Times-7, and by Arcadian Inc. over the past 48 hours.   The correct information is below, and this is now reflected in...
