The A5060 is a high-gain, circularly polarised RAIN RFID antenna with a focused fan beam, engineered to maximise readability in dense tag environments while limiting stray reads.
Key features
- Ultra‑low profile, high‑gain design with a multi‑element antenna array that delivers a concentrated “curtain”‑shaped RF beam for exceptional performance in demanding industrial settings.
- Read range exceeding 10 m (33 ft), providing powerful far‑field coverage where extended portal or tunnel reading is required.
- Circular polarisation with 10.5 dBiC gain and narrow beamwidth (25° in XZ‑plane, 60° in YZ‑plane), combining high penetration with tight control of the read zone to reduce unwanted reads.
Mechanical and electrical data
- Dimensions: 604 × 304 × 8.6 mm, offering a large, yet slim, form factor suitable for overhead, side, or frame mounting.
- Frequency ranges: 902–928 MHz (FCC) and 865–868 MHz (ETSI), supporting global RAIN RFID deployments.
- Environmental rating IP54 and SMA connector, suitable for indoor and sheltered industrial environments.
Design and mounting
- Six pre‑drilled mounting holes enable secure flush mounting to flat surfaces and structures.
- Optional A5060 mounting plate supports VESA mounting, adding flexibility for portals, gantries, and custom frames.
- Available in both black and white versions to match different mechanical and aesthetic requirements.
Typical applications
EAS gates and controlled read zones where extended range and precise, confined RF coverage are critical.
Portals and tunnels where a vertical “curtain” of RF is needed to capture tagged items moving through a defined path.
Dock doors and industrial asset tracking in warehouses and distribution centres with high tag density.
