Detailed product information

The Brady GA30 UHF RFID Antenna is a high-performance, general-purpose UHF RFID antenna designed for reliable fixed RFID reading in industrial, logistics and asset management environments. Built for challenging read conditions, the GA30 delivers high gain for long RFID reading distances and supports accurate tag detection, even when tags are presented in different orientations.

Designed for maximum installation flexibility, the Brady GA30 can be mounted directly on all surfaces, including metal, without compromising UHF RFID reading performance. This makes it suitable for demanding fixed RFID applications where antennas need to be installed on machines, gates, racks, walls, metal structures or other industrial surfaces.

The antenna operates across a wide global UHF RFID frequency band from 865 MHz to 928 MHz and uses real circular polarisation to help ensure reliable reading performance across regions and tag orientations. With its robust design and IP68 ingress protection rating as a standalone antenna, the GA30 is well suited for dusty, wet or otherwise harsh workspaces.

For compact fixed-reader installations, the modular Brady FR22 Fixed RFID Reader can attach directly to the back of the GA30 antenna. This enables a seamless integrated RFID reading solution for applications where space, mounting simplicity and dependable performance are important.
