FlexiRay AntennasProducts Description

Why FlexiRay?

Esthetic & pleasing designSlim profile & low mounting depthAntenna length suitable for your installationCompletely invisible or embedded installationOn metal / off metal placement options

Standard Conventional RFID antennasRobust design, antenna size, high installation depth Obtrusive and unaesthetic shape does not allow deployment in interiors More challenging to tune them for a short distance applications

maintaining the order of the objectsavoid false reading
