Product Overview
The AN971 is a high-performance UHF RFID antenna designed for large-area coverage and high-throughput environments. Its dual-element circular polarization (LHCP/RHCP) ensures accurate and consistent tag reading, even when tag orientation varies. With a high gain of ~9 dBic and support for 865–868 MHz and 902–928 MHz, it delivers strong, stable performance across a wide read zone.
Built for industrial and enterprise applications, the AN971 features a rugged IP67-rated enclosure, making it suitable for indoor and outdoor deployments. Its elongated design provides extensive coverage, reducing blind spots and improving efficiency in warehouses, logistics portals, and retail back-end operations where reliable, long-range tracking is essential.
