Description
Product Description
Wide Band Performance UHF RFID Antenna for Global Installations
With its high read accuracy coupled with worldwide compatibility, the Zebra AN480 can help enterprises adopt a single RFID antenna model for standardization of deployments across different regions. It offers a broad operating frequency range from 865 to 956 MHz, which reduces costs and makes the planning of the infrastructure easier. Its high low axial ratio helps generate a homogeneous radio frequency field compared to that of other RFID antennas, which ensures improved readability of tags and eliminates instances of missed reads even when deployed in tough situations. With an IP54 rugged enclosure, the AN480 is ideal for both customer and industrial facing scenarios, and its compact design helps install it quickly on ceilings, walls, portals, conveyor systems, shelves, and dock doors. It is designed to be used with Zebra’s fixed RFID readers such as FX9600 and FXR90 in order to provide reliable performance of RFID.
