10dBi UHF RFID Linear Antenna

An 865–868 MHz antenna is designed for UHF RFID and low-power wireless applications operating in the European ETSI SRD band. Typical uses include UHF RFID readers (EPC Gen2 / ISO 18000-6C), asset tracking, warehouse management, access control, smart retail, race timing, and IoT/M2M systems deployed in Europe and other regions following ETSI regulations.
Airplux offers this band across multiple product families: the ETSI 865–868 MHz RFID antenna line (3–15 dBi PCB, panel and mat antennas), near-field RFID antennas, narrow-beam antennas, and ETSI UHF integrated reader antennas. For example, the 3 dBi circular-polarized PCB antenna APRIA8003CM-137 suits compact desktop readers, while high-gain panel models support long-range portal and gate applications.

Yes. Airplux is an antenna manufacturer offering full OEM/ODM service — custom frequency tuning within 865–868 MHz, bespoke gain and beamwidth, custom dimensions, polarization, connector, cable, housing color, logo and IP rating. Custom designs from 100 MHz to 8 GHz are supported with in-house R&D, prototyping and testing.
Typical custom projects in this band include ultra-thin antennas for smart cabinets and document management (like the 1 mm-thick APRIA8003CB, 250×110×1 mm), large-area tool-inventory antennas (600×330 mm APRIA8006033CX), and integrated reader antennas for logistics portals. Send us your frequency plan, mechanical envelope, gain target and environment, and we will return a proposal with samples for validation.

It depends on the model’s IP rating and housing. Dedicated outdoor models use weather-sealed radomes (typically IP65–IP67), UV-stable materials and operating ranges of –40 °C to +85 °C. Indoor low-profile PCB antennas are not sealed and should be protected from moisture, condensation and temperature extremes.
For outdoor or industrial installations, Airplux offers ruggedized ETSI panel antennas and underground-rated models such as the APRIA8009CL, whose sealed housing withstands flush floor installation and mechanical load. Confirm mounting orientation, drainage and grounding during design; our team can also supply custom radomes and IP-rated enclosures for harsh outdoor or cold-chain (freezer) deployments.

The APRIA80010LX specifies a horizontal beamwidth of 150° and a vertical beamwidth of 20°. These figures describe the antenna’s stated radiation pattern characteristics, with a wider horizontal profile than vertical profile. They can help engineers assess antenna orientation and coverage requirements during installation planning. However, beamwidth does not represent a guaranteed tag-reading area or distance. Actual coverage depends on mounting position, tag location, and RF reflections.

Yes. The APRIA80010LX can be considered for file cabinet systems that use RFID tags to identify and track stored documents or folders. Its 900mm elongated structure may be suitable for installations where a longer antenna format fits the cabinet layout. Before installation, consider the cabinet’s dimensions, tag positions, and internal materials. Metal surfaces can affect RF propagation, so the antenna arrangement should be tested with the actual cabinet.

The APRIA80010LX uses an aluminum radome with a white finish. Aluminum provides a rigid housing structure and can help protect the antenna assembly from physical contact during normal installation and use. However, metal housing must be considered as part of the antenna’s RF design. The antenna should be installed according to its intended mounting arrangement rather than placed against additional metal surfaces without testing.
