Zebra AN650 UHF RFID Ground Antenna 865-868 MHz, 9 dBi, 8 mm, IP65, 440 lb

The Zebra AN650 is an ultra-low-profile, circularly polarized UHF ground/mat RFID antenna engineered for discreet, high‑reliability tag capture in doorways, corridors, kiosks and other passageway or floor‑level installations. Available in regional variants tuned for U.S. (902–928 MHz) and ETSI/extended UHF operation (865–956 MHz), the AN650 delivers elevated read performance through right‑hand circular polarization and high gain (up to 10.5 dBiC) in a slim form factor that can be concealed beneath mats or integrated into floor and kiosk surfaces. Designed for enterprise deployments, it combines flexible mounting and connector options, flame‑retardant ABS construction and ingress protection for practical installations across retail, warehousing, events, healthcare and systems integration projects.

Key Features

• Ultra‑low profile: Slim 8–8.6 mm housing enables concealed ground or mat mounting for unobtrusive installations.
• Circular polarization: Right‑hand circular polarization improves multi‑orientation tag reads and reduces missed tags in transit paths.
• Regional UHF coverage: Available variants support U.S. 902–928 MHz and ETSI/extended 865–956 MHz frequency ranges for global deployments.
• High read performance: Antenna gain up to 10.5 dBiC and defined beam patterns support consistent tag capture in chokepoints and passageways.
• Durable, flexible installation: Flame‑retardant ABS housing, ingress protection (IP54/IP65 depending on model) and recessed or VESA mounting options for robust field use.
• Connector and integration options: Multiple connector types and a side‑mounted SMA (fly‑lead) option simplify integration with existing RFID readers and cabling.
