We recently came in contact with a client that was looking for an antenna with UL Type 4X rating similar to IP67. He claimed that he wanted to mount external antennas on a NEMA box. In response, all of our antennas are typically IP rated, but not UL rated because all of our antennas do not have any active element which means UL rating is not required for our antennas.

Recently a client approached us about the Alien part # ALR8696-C. They were developing new software and need an antenna that utilized LHCP (left-hand circular polarization), which part # ALR8696-C does not. In response, I have come up with two suggestions, both of which come in LH and RH circular polarizations.   Suggestion 1 RCPL-902-09-SNF: This antenna measures in at 10 x 10 inches and features a gain of 9 dBic, a fixed N-Female connector, and an IP rating of 67.   Suggestion 2 RCPL-902-8-RTM-8: This antenna is the industry standard for passive UHF VHF RFID installations. It measures in...

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.

Recently, a client approached us about a 10” antenna that could be used in the EU area, so we have a few suggestions…   10 x 10-inch Flush Mount, R8658-LPF-SSF: A circularly polarized ETSI outdoor RFID antenna from RFMAX that measures in at 10 x 10 inches. It operates at 8.5 dBic and is one of the best choices for a low profile, IP67 rated passive UHF RFID application in the ETSI band of 865-868 MHz. Due to its high IP rating, and it can be used outdoors without much of a problem! It comes with a standard SMA-Female connector...
