10dBi Long Range UHF RFID Antenna

An RFID antenna transmits and receives radio frequency signals between an RFID reader and RFID tags. It enables the reader to communicate with tags and retrieve their stored identification data. In a typical RFID system, the antenna works with the reader, tags, and software to support functions such as inventory tracking, asset identification, and access control. Antenna selection affects the reading area, communication performance, and reliability of the overall RFID system.

ETSI and FCC refer to different regional regulatory frameworks for UHF RFID operation. The ETSI version of the Airplux APRIA8009CB operates at 865–868 MHz, while an FCC version is available for 902–928 MHz. The appropriate version depends on the country or region where the RFID system will be deployed. Before purchasing, confirm the local frequency regulations and ensure that the reader, antenna, and tags support a compatible operating band.

A 75° horizontal and 40° vertical beamwidth creates a wider coverage angle horizontally than vertically. This beam pattern can be useful when an RFID reading zone needs broader side-to-side coverage while keeping the vertical coverage more focused. Antenna height, tilt, and mounting position should be adjusted according to the layout of the reading area.

IP65 means the antenna enclosure is dust-tight and protected against water jets from any direction under specified test conditions. The Airplux APRIA80010CA uses an IP65-rated aluminum radome, supporting installation in suitable indoor and outdoor environments. Proper cable connections and mounting are still necessary to maintain the intended protection level.

An aluminum radome provides a rigid enclosure that protects the antenna structure and supports mechanical durability. The APRIA80010CA uses a white aluminum radome measuring 420 × 240 × 30 mm. Its IP65 rating also makes it suitable for installations where dust and water-jet exposure need to be considered.

Yes. The APRIA80010CA supports pole diameters from 40 mm to 80 mm and has a net weight of 1.15 kg. It also has a rated wind velocity of up to 50 m/s. Before installation, check the pole’s load capacity, mounting hardware, antenna direction, and cable protection.
