Times-7 – A6590L SlimLine™ Linear Ground RFID Antenna
The Times-7 A6590L is an ultra-low profile, linear polarized UHF RFID ground antenna engineered for applications requiring high-performance tag reads at foot level. Just 8 mm thick, it is specifically optimized for environments where side antennas are impractical—such as conference attendee tracking, race timing, and smart retail entrances. Capable of withstanding up to 500 kg of distributed load, the A6590L is rugged enough for trolleys, bicycles, and moderate vehicular traffic. Whether deployed under a mat at event entrances or installed flush within doorways, this antenna provides powerful performance in a discreet, durable package.
