We are known for the quality and performance of our antennas. Times-7 customers appreciate our customer service and technical support, on top of our world-class products and expert Knowledge. Supporting a large global customer base and ensuring success of customer implementations is one of our top priorities.
Based in Lower Hutt New Zealand we export to all corners of the globe through our authorized network.
Our global expertise in RFID, and rigorous research and development have led to the creation of new and innovative technologies. Aside from designing, manufacturing, and exporting UHF RFID antennas, we also develop innovative RFID solutions.
At just 8-12mm in thickness, Times-7’s patented ultra thin RFID antenna range are significantly slimmer than any other antenna product on the market, opening up new opportunities to automate tracking of assets, and people and items.
The revolutionary SlimLine UHF RFID antenna range from Times-7 will lift the performance of any RFID system, putting you at the forefront of RFID antenna technology.
Stress tested and proven across diverse industry verticals from airport luggage tracking to intelligent shelving for real-time inventory, Times-7 SlimLine antennas are deployed around the world for reliable 24/7 operations. With their thin profile and inherent strength, SlimLine antennas can be installed in very tight spaces and in the most rugged environments.
We are exhibiting at WIoT tomorrow
Meet our team and experience IoT in action.

True NearField RFID Antenna Family
Technologies
Industries
Presenting the Times-7 New True NearField Antenna Family: A1115, A1130, A1163
The new True NearField Antenna Series is explicitly designed for applications, which require “near zone only” tag detection or involve metals, liquid and other challenging materials.
With hardly any far-field components and no surface dead spots, the Times-7 True NearField antennas provide reliable tag reads within a very constricted read zone.
Thanks to the unique antenna design the True NearField antenna series offers three dimensions. From a compact 150 x 150 mm to a large 300 x 600 mm footprint. Furthermore, they are available in black or white.
All three antennas provide integrated mounting holes on the rear side, which can be drilled through for using mounting screws. In addition, each antenna is provided with an optional self-adhesive rubber feet kit to stop the antenna from slipping.
- Radome Material: Fire retardant ABS (available in black and white, see order information
- Environmental Rating: IP54
- Operating Temperature: 0 to +50 °C / -30 to +50 °C
- Storage Temperature: +32 to +122 °F / -22 to +122 °F
- Frequency Range: 865 – 867 MHz, 902 – 928 MHz
Applications:
- Metal & Liquids
- POS
- Shelving
