Arcadian Blog — Times-7

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.

Q) Will the Times-7 part # A1115 read normal far-field UHF tags or do I need some kind of special near-field tag?     A) Recently, we were approached with a question about the Times-7 A1115 reader. The client wanted to know if Times-7 part # A1115 would read a normal far-field tag. First off, I’d like to start off by saying that there aren’t special tags for near-field or far-field UHF RFID antennas. All passive tags can be read by all RFID readers/antennas – that includes far and near field antennas.   Therefore, to answer your question, the Times-7...

Q) Can you tell me what the smallest Near-Field RFID UHF antenna Arcadian carries is?   A) Recently we received a question regarding the smallest Near-Field RFID UHF antenna we have in stock at Arcadian.
