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.

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...

Based on the success of the A8060 Doorway RFID antenna, Times-7 has improved this solution and developed two additional complimentary doorway antennas to provide a complete three-sided Doorway Portal Application with a 360° read zone - the new SlimLine A8065 Combo.   This 3 piece solution is tailored for every tag orientation.
