There may be some confusion regarding the conversion of dBd to dBi or vice versa so, in order to clear up the confusion, we decided to create a small chart with the conversion formulas for both. Hope this helps!   Gain in dBd Gain in dBi - 2.15 dB Gain in dBi Gain in dBd + 2.15 dB   To keep updated with our promos and events follow us and like us on Facebook!   Tech Help at Arcadian Inc. / arcantenna.com can be reached by email at techsupport@arcadianinc.com

A customer called today, frustrated that they cannot find STOCK of the Alien ALR-8698 RFID antenna.  The ALR-8698 is a 10x10 inch, IP67 rated panel antenna for RFID with 70x70 beamwidth. It services both FCC (902-928 MHz) and ETSI (865-868 MHz)    Our recommended, IN STOCK equivalent antenna is:   RCPL-902-09-SNF, which is basically the same, but with an N-Female connector and it only covers FCC 902-928 MHz.

Recently, a customer complained that an IP67 panel antenna (in this case for RFID) that he purchased at our website www.arcantenna.com had taken on water, he asked if this is acceptable. Well, I do have an issue with an IP67 antenna taking on water, technically it should not happen, but...    The way IP67 is defined is that IP stands for “ingress protection” and the first digit denotes solid particle protection (dust) and the “6” rating means that the ingress of dust is not entirely prevented, but it won’t enter in sufficient quantities to interfere with the operation of the antenna.   ...
