MTI Wireless Edge MT-262041/TRH/A/K: 5 dbic, IP67

In a busy warehouse, inventory tags are scanned from every angle as forklifts move through aisles. The MTI Wireless Edge MT-262041/TRH/A/K UHF RFID panel antenna is mounted on a wall or pole, reliably reading tags up to several meters away. Its circular polarization and 5 dBiC gain ensure consistent performance even when tag orientation varies.

Why choose it

This antenna is built for demanding environments. The IP67 rating protects against dust and water, while the UV resistant plastic housing withstands prolonged sun exposure. The aluminum backplate adds rigidity and aids heat dissipation. With a front-to-back ratio over 20 dB, it minimizes interference from signals behind the antenna, improving read accuracy in dense reader deployments.

Ideal use cases

• Warehouse and logistics RFID portals
• Asset tracking in outdoor yards
• Retail inventory management
• Industrial automation and conveyor systems
• Smart parking and vehicle identification

Good to know

The antenna is DC grounded, which helps dissipate static electricity and protects connected RFID readers. It can be mounted on walls or poles using standard brackets (not included). For optimal performance, ensure a clear line of sight to the tag population and keep the antenna away from large metal surfaces that may cause reflections.
