The Identium ID-ANT-8CP-190 delivers full 8 dBi gain from a compact 190 × 190 mm panel — half the physical size of standard 8 dBi antennas. This is the antenna of choice when you need high-gain RFID performance from a space-constrained enclosure: embedded kiosks, self-service terminals, desktop RFID readers, and narrow portal frames where a standard 300mm panel simply does not fit.
Despite the reduced panel size, advanced antenna design maintains the full 8 dBi gain specification through a high-efficiency patch element — delivering read ranges comparable to larger panels in open conditions. The compact form factor opens integration opportunities in OEM product design, automated tool dispensers, locker systems, and RFID-enabled vending machines.

Recommended Applications
- OEM product integration: Embed into custom hardware enclosures (tool dispensers, locker doors, kiosk panels) where standard antenna panels are too large.
- RFID-enabled vending / dispensing machines: Mount inside machine panels to read tagged consumables, tools, or parts as they are dispensed or returned.
- Desktop RFID reader upgrades: Replace under-performing desktop reader antennas with a 190mm compact panel for improved multi-tag read performance on desktop.
- Narrow portal frames: Fit into 200mm-wide portal uprights where standard 300mm antennas cannot be accommodated.

Frequently asked questions
Does the smaller 190 mm panel reduce this antenna's read range?
No. The ID-ANT-8CP-190 keeps the full 8 dBi gain from a 190 x 190 mm panel, about half the size of a standard 8 dBi antenna, using a high-efficiency patch element. Read ranges are comparable to larger panels in open conditions, so the smaller footprint does not cost performance.
Where is a compact 8 dBi RFID antenna typically used?
The ID-ANT-8CP-190 is used wherever a standard 300 mm panel will not fit, including embedded kiosks, self-service terminals, desktop RFID readers and narrow portal frames. Its compact circularly polarised design also suits OEM integration in automated tool dispensers, locker systems and RFID-enabled vending machines.
What frequency and connector does the ID-ANT-8CP-190 use?
The ID-ANT-8CP-190 compact UHF RFID antenna is specified at 902-928 MHz with right-hand circular polarisation and an N-Female connector. India's licence-free UHF RFID band is 865-867 MHz notified by WPC, so confirm the band variant needed for an Indian installation before you order.
Can I get this compact RFID antenna in bulk for an OEM product?
Yes. India RFID Store, a BIS and WPC certified Indian RFID manufacturer, supplies the ID-ANT-8CP-190 compact antenna in OEM and bulk quantities with samples and pan-India shipping. Pricing depends on volume, so check the listed price or request a quote for your build.
