Circular Polarized Antenna
The UHF RFID module of C72 supports a 4dBi circular polarized antenna. It provides a wide RF field
capable of scanning tags that are spread out over a large area. That means you can just wave the device
to scan tags of inconsistent orientation from a reasonably short or long distance.
Read Distance of a Circular Polarized Antenna

Indoors
physically broader read range and longer read distance.
In indoor environment, the read distance can reach 25m,
making it a valuable tool in warehousing and inventory
management

Outdoors
under outdoor environment. The read distance reaches
15m and it can read tags that are on different plane. It will
bring more flexibility to your work.
Read Rate of Circular Polarized Antenna
technology accelerates read rate and
accuracy. The read rate of C72 with a circular
polarized antenna reaches 200 tags per
second. You will need the device in
scan-intense task.
