Rootenna series is ideal for harsh environments

Laird Technologies

Integrated RFID antennas

Laird Technologies has released the RFID HD Rootenna series, which offers six options of integrated RFID antennas covering 865-960MHz.

The Rootenna series integrates a high-performance RFID antenna and a compartment for reader electronics into an IP-67 rated weatherproof housing enclosure, making it ideal for harsh environments.

The antennas cover industry-standard 902-928MHz and 865-868MHz RFID frequencies, as well as a wide band version for 865-960MHz.

The series offers six different circularly-polarised UHF antenna options that are available in a choice of right-hand (RH) and left-hand (LH) circular polarisation.

Features include very low VSWR, axial ratio, and a fixed SMA connector.

The die-cast enclosure can be pole or wall mounted and a heavy duty tilt bracket is available for installations requiring up or down tilt.

There are 11 engineered knockouts provided: nine sized for N connectors and two sized for a cable feed-through.
