3 dBi Integrated UHF RFID Reader with Inbuilt Antenna – 860-960MHz

The 3 dBi Integrated UHF RFID Reader combines a high-performance UHF reader module with a built-in 3 dBi antenna in a single compact unit. Operating at 860–960MHz (EPC Gen2), it is designed for access control, attendance management, and short-to-mid range item tracking at gates and doorways. The integrated antenna eliminates the need for external coaxial connections, reducing installation complexity and cost.

Key Features

• 860–960MHz UHF, EPC Gen2 / ISO18000-6C
• 3 dBi integrated antenna — read range up to 1–3m (tag dependent)
• Compact all-in-one form factor — easy wall or door-frame mounting
• Wiegand 26/34 or RS485 interface
• LED and buzzer work prompt

Applications

• Access control and attendance
• Warehouse gate and doorway reading
• Retail checkout lane automation
• Library and document tracking

About the 3 dBi Integrated UHF RFID Reader with Inbuilt Antenna - 860-960MHz

An integrated reader removes the part of a UHF installation that usually goes wrong: the coaxial run. The ID-IUR-3DBI-V2 is a 3 dBi integrated UHF RFID reader that puts the reader module and a 3 dBi antenna in one compact housing, operating across 860-960 MHz so it covers the Indian 865-867 MHz allocation and the ETSI 865-868 MHz band. Read range is 1-3 m depending on the tag, which suits gates, doorways and counters rather than open yards. With no external antenna connections to specify, terminate or weatherproof, it is the fastest way to add EPC Gen2 reading to an access control or attendance point.

Key specifications

Best-fit applications

• Employee access control and attendance at office and factory entry doors
• Warehouse gate and doorway reading for trolleys, bins and returnable containers
• Retail checkout lane automation where tagged items pass a fixed point
• Library and document tracking at issue counters and exit doors
• Hostel, campus and clubhouse entry points that need hands-free badge reads

Mounting, encoding and reading notes

Mount the unit on the wall or door frame at roughly the height the tag will pass, with the antenna face pointing along the path of travel rather than across it. Keep the front face clear of metal ducting, shutters and cable trays, and leave separation between two readers watching adjacent doors so their fields do not overlap. Choose Wiegand 26/34 when wiring into an access panel that already speaks it and RS485 for longer cable runs to a controller. Encode tags on a desktop encoder before deployment and verify range with your actual tag, since 1-3 m is tag dependent.

Why buy from Identium

Identium builds and supports RFID from New Delhi and is BIS and WPC certified, so Indian buyers get compliant hardware with local service, and the 860-960 MHz coverage makes the same unit usable on ETSI export projects. We quote bulk and OEM volumes, encode tags to your numbering, and provide free samples for a site trial. Browse integrated readers with inbuilt antenna or read how to choose an RFID reader.

Frequently asked questions

What is the read range of this 3 dBi integrated UHF RFID reader?

The 3 dBi integrated UHF RFID reader gives a read range of about 1 to 3 metres, depending on the tag and the environment. The 3 dBi antenna is built into the unit and operates at 860-960 MHz on EPC Gen2, which suits gate, doorway and short-to-mid range item tracking.

Do I need a separate antenna and cable with this reader?

No. The integrated UHF RFID reader combines the reader module and a 3 dBi antenna in one compact unit, so no external antenna or coaxial cable is needed. That cuts installation cost and cabling at doors and gates, and the all-in-one housing mounts straight onto a wall or door frame.

Is this integrated reader suitable for India's RFID band?

Yes. The integrated UHF RFID reader works at 860-960 MHz, covering India's UHF RFID band of 865-867 MHz notified by WPC and licence-free within the permitted power limits. It supports EPC Gen2 and ISO18000-6C, so it reads the standard UHF cards, labels and tags used across India.

Where is this integrated UHF reader typically used in India?

The 3 dBi integrated UHF RFID reader is used for access control and attendance, warehouse gate and doorway reading, retail checkout lane automation, and library or document tracking. It offers Wiegand 26/34 or RS485 output with LED and buzzer prompts; contact India RFID Store for pricing and integration support.
