UHF RFID antennas compatible with Motorola fixed RFID readers
I've had many customers ask me if Arcadian stocks Motorola RFID antennas. Specifically the AN710 AN720 AN480 and AN 200 models. The answer is that we don't - but actually we do. You see, only Motorola sells the antennas with the Symbol Technologies and/or Motorola logo on it. But, that antenna is not manufactured by Motorola. The RFID antennas that Arcadian sells are EXACTLY THE SAME AS MOTOROLA, in most cases, but we simply charge you, the dealer, system integrator, VAR, or user - less money.

So, I'd encourage you to check out our full line of UHF RFID antennas, mounting brackets, RF cable extensions and RFID enclosures. You'll find them to be EXACTLY the same as the Symbol / Motorola RFID antenna models.
You can link to them below:
Motorola AN710: this is a 6x6 inch antenna, and is capable of both US and Euro band. We DO NOT have a dual band antenna. However, we have the 5x5 inch equivalent in both the US and Euro band, but we sell them as separate units. Here they are...
S9025PLRASMAF: 5x5 inch RFID antenna, polarized left, with right angle SMA female connector, 902-928 mhz
S9025PRNF: 5x5 inch RFID antenna, polarized right, with N-female connector, 902-928 mhz
S9025PLNF: 5x5 inch RFID antenna, polarized left, with N-female connector, 902-928 mhz
Motorola AN720: this is a 5x5 inch antenna, polarized left with N-female connector, we stock it as S9025PLNF
Motorola AN480: this is a 10x10 inch antenna, polarized Left or right with wide band coverage and N-female connector, we stock it as the S8658WPR12NF
We do not recommend the above antenna because our customers find that the cable is too short, and the connector (N-Female) in many cases does not fit the RFID reader. Almost all RFID readers, including the Motorola XR450, XR480 and FX7400 all come with Reverse TNC connectors.
What we suggest, is that you use Arcadian's equivalent to Motorola AN200 - general purpose indoor/outdoor UHF RFID antenna. We sell the AN200 types with 8 foot of cable and RPTNC connectors (vs 1 foot cable and N-female connector)
The most popular models are:
S9028PCL96RTN & S9028PCR96RTN: These antennas are the 10x10 inch 902-928 mhz panel antennas with left and right circular polarity, 8 foot cable and RPTNC connector. ALWAYS IN STOCK - and Great, easy to install mounting hardware.
Nobody knows UHF RFID antennas, mounts, cables and enclosures like Arcadian Inc. Please contact us if you need any assistance at all. In addition, we'll be at RFID journal live - contact us before the show, so we can be sure to meet with you.
