We just finished up the 10th annual RFID Journal Live Show, and on behalf of Laird Technologies and Arcadian Inc., I'd like to thank Mark Roberti and the Journal LIve staff for another GREAT show. Quaid Rasheed, Jannette Avila and myself enjoyed working booth # 115, and showing the RFID OEMs and System Integrators our UHF antenna portfolio for US & EU band RFID applications.
It was no surprise that so many people stopped by our booth after easily recognizing the old Cushcraft 10x10 inch RFID panel antennas S9028PCL & S9028PCR (US: 902-928 MHZ) S8658PL & S8658PR (EU: 865-868 MHZ) and S8658WPL & S8658WPR ("Wide-Band" US/EU/Japan: 865-960 MHZ) After 10 years on the market, these antennas are the gold standard in the induistry for circularly polarized UHF RFID antennas. Furthermore, at 8.5-9 DBIC, they pack are simply the very best "bang for your buck" and readily available from stock at all times.
What was a surprise, was the general lack of knowledge regarding Laird's DCE - die cast enclsure with integrated antenna lid, also known as the "RooTenna." These 12.5 x 10.5x 4 inch die-cast boxes are designed to hold all of the most popular UHF RFID readers from Motorola, ThingMagic, Impinj and Alien Technololgies. These units are a perfect choice for outdoor RFID installations, where your reader must be protected from the elements. This unit can also be used as a "stand-alone" antenna (without mounting your reader inside) The antenna lid is UHF frequency, 8.5 to 9 DBIC, 65-70 degree beamwidth and 1.3 to 1.5 VSWR.
The RFID HD RooTenna® from Laird Technologies is an innovative antenna system that gives
the operator ultimate system flexibility. The Radome is UV resistant ASA plastic, the hardware
is stainless steel, and the mounting plate inside for adding electronics is removable and
customizable by the user.
The die-cast enclosure can be pole or wall mounted. A heavy duty tilt bracket is available for
those installations requiring up or down tilt. Eleven (11) engineered knockouts are provided;
nine sized for N connectors, and two sized for a cable feed through.
This series of antennas is available with a choice of six different circularly polarized UHF
antennas integrated into the Radome cover. These antennas cover the standard 902-928 MHz,
865-868 MHz RFID frequencies, as well as a wide band version that covers 865-960 MHz. All are
available in a choice of RH and LH circular polarization. These antennas feature very low VSWR,
axial ratio, and a fixed SMA connector.
These units feature an ultra-rugged, IP67 rated, die-cast metal housing + integrated UHF circularly polarized (LHCP & RHCP) antenna lid with ABS plastic radome. Each units ships with a basic mounting kit. Laird / Cushcraft offers 6 different RooTenna DCE models to cover all possible RFID applications. For Basic RooTenna specifications CLICK HERE.
The models are:
DCE9028PRFSMF HD RooTenna® enclosure with integrated Right hand CP 902-928 MHz 9 dBic panel antenna
DCE9028PLFSMF HD RooTenna® enclosure with integrated Left hand CP 902-928 MHz 9 dBic panel antenna
DCE8658PRFSMF HD RooTenna® enclosure with integrated Right hand CP 865-868 MHz 8.5 dBic panel antenna
DCE8658PLFSMF HD RooTenna® enclosure with integrated Left hand CP 865-868 MHz 8.5 dBic panel antenna
DCE8658WPRFSMF HD RooTenna® enclosure with integrated Right hand CP 865-960 MHz 8.5 dBic panel antenna
DCE8658WPLFSMF HD RooTenna® enclosure with integrated Left hand CP 865-960 MHz 8.5 dBic panel antenna
In addition to housing your radio, each unit includes 11 engineered "knock-out" holes so that you may allow entry for power, ethernet, or PoE. Furthermore, these knock-outs allow exit for coax to support external antennas. We suggest using Laird's RJ45-FT which is a weather-tight coax feed-through gland. In addition, for outdoor installations, you'll need lighting suppression to comply with the National Electrical Code, and we typically suggest Laird's SP6-230-BFF
If you have any questions about these, or any of our RFID antenna products, please feel free to contact me directly.
