Zebra AN440 High Performance Indoor/Outdoor RFID Antenna (Global)

Specification Overview: HP Dual-N-Type Architecture, Polarization - 1 x LHCP / 1 x RHCP, Compliance - ROHS, IP Sealing - IP67, Class - Indoor & Outdoor Usage. This antenna is for use globally, in the US and EU as well but it is optimized for US. 

Zebra AN440 High Performance Indoor/Outdoor RFID Antenna (Global) is a rugged general-purpose area antenna, designed to perform exceptionally in all environments, indoors and out. Dual-element architecture makes the AN440 suitable for bi-static operation. Or it can be used as two separate mono-static antennas in a single package. The Zebra AN440 RFID Antenna gives you a wide read field and high-speed RF signal conversion, so data capture is fast and accurate, even in expansive, high-demand environments.

Even in RF-challenging environments, you get longer read ranges and higher levels of performance. AN440 RFID Antenna is used for mounting on ceilings and walls to create superior read zones around shelves, doorways and chokepoints, portals, outdoor gates and conveyors, RF-challenging environments.
