Times-7 – A8065 Combo Door Frame Antenna — Complete 360° Doorway Coverage
The Times-7 A8065 Combo is a door frame RFID antenna system built for doorway portal applications where tags must be read reliably regardless of their orientation as they pass through. The combo consists of three individual antennas, the A8065V, A8065H, and A8065D, which together combine three polarizations: Vertical Linear and Horizontal Linear mounted on either side of the doorway, and Dual Linear mounted overhead. This configuration gives the system complete 360° tag orientation read coverage, addressing a common failure point in doorway RFID deployments where single-polarization antennas miss tags presented at unexpected angles. At just 0.4″ (10.5mm) thick and 3.4″ (88mm) wide, each antenna integrates directly into standard door frames using built-in mounting guides or adhesive foam strips, without requiring structural changes to the doorway. This makes the A8065 Combo well suited to item-level tracking in retail stores, tracking conference attendees moving through entry points, and monitoring patients or assets in hospital hallways. Each antenna variant, and the full combo set, can be ordered individually in either ETSI or FCC frequency bands.

Benefits
The combo pairs vertical, horizontal, and dual linear polarization across three antennas so tags are read no matter how they are oriented as they pass through the doorway, reducing missed reads at the point of transit.
At just 0.4″ thick and 3.4″ wide, each antenna mounts directly onto door frames using integrated guides or adhesive foam strips, preserving doorway clearance in retail, hospital, and office environments.
DC grounded anti-static protection and an IP54 environmental rating let the A8065 Combo operate reliably in busy doorways over a wide temperature range without frequent service interruptions.
