The A5020LX is a compact, high-gain, linearly polarised RAIN RFID antenna designed for long-range reads in extreme environments, combining a slim form factor with IP68 and IP69K durability.
Key features
- High-gain linear polarisation with 5 dBi gain and a focused beam (100° in XZ-plane, 105° in YZ-plane), ideal where tag orientation is controlled and long read ranges are required.
- Ultra-low profile design with a 150 mm square footprint that delivers reliable performance without compromising aesthetics in visible installations.
- Rated IP68 and IP69K, ensuring resistance to high-pressure water cleaning, dirt, and water ingress, and suitable for extreme temperatures down to -90 °C.
Mechanical and electrical data
- Dimensions: 150.7 × 149.4 × 14.5 mm, suited for tight spaces on equipment, rails, and enclosures.
- Frequency ranges: 902–928 MHz (FCC) and 865–868 MHz (ETSI), supporting global RAIN RFID deployments.
- Linearly polarised with 5 dBi gain and wide beamwidths (100°/105°), environmental rating IP68 & IP69K, SMA connector.
Design and mounting
- Robust, compact housing that blends seamlessly into medical, pharmaceutical, industrial, and transport environments.
- Simple installation with VESA-compatible mounting pattern or flush mounting options for flat surfaces.
- Optional Connector Protection Backplate available to shield the RF connector from impacts, compatible with both right-angled and straight cables.
Typical applications
Permanent outdoor installations that demand a durable, high-gain linear antenna with reliable long-range reading.
Pharmaceutical asset tracking and hygiene-critical environments where washdown resistance and controlled tag orientation are essential.
Industrial and railway applications exposed to dirt, vibration, and extreme temperatures requiring long-term, rugged RFID performance.
