Our comprehensive off the shelf portfolio of standard antennas, cover both near-field and far-field antennas. These are available in a range of sizes, temperature tolerances and IP ratings to cover most UHF RFID applications.
However, we also understand that one size may not fit all, with some use cases demanding more tailored solutions.
This is why we offer a custom antenna design and manufacture service.

|
Standard antennas are pre-designed antennas that are part of our current portfolio and cater to a broad range of applications. |
Custom antennas are specifically engineered to meet unique application needs and precise antenna specifications. |
Advantages include |
|
|
Quick deployment: Immediate availability for rapid integration |
Tailored design: Optimised for unique form factors and performance. |
|
Cost-effective: Lower initial investment compared to custom designs. |
Tightly coupled integration: The custom antenna components are precisely engineered and electronically optimised to align with the electrical and mechanical characteristics of the surrounding system architecture. |
|
Proven performance: Tested and validated for multiple use cases across various industries and environments.
|
Streamlined system design: Incorporating components and features not found in standard antennas, efficiencies can be created within the system |
(This is not an exhaustive list and could include variations based on requirements)
Designing antenna components for seamless integration into devices or infrastructure, such as:
Adapting existing antenna designs to meet specific requirements, including:
Developing antennas from the ground up based on client specifications and encompassing a larger scope of work which typically include:
Our custom antenna design service follows an easy four stage process, which includes a discovery and proposal phase, design specification, prototype & testing, and delivery.
We begin by discussing your project requirements. This phase includes
Upon proposal acceptance, we would develop a design proposal detailing:
Our engineering team then
Based on feedback:
Whether off-the-shelf or custom-built, you can rely on Times-7 to deliver precision-engineered RFID antennas backed by global expertise and industry-leading service.
