RFID Range Extenders

Introduction

The RFID Range Extender is a unique passive antenna system built for a variety of use-cases.

• Boosting the range of unstable / under-performing antennas (up to 7cm)
• Physically displacing the reading zone of a device (up to 50cm)

No wiring or soldering required, and compatible with all RFID systems - simple place the host antenna next to the host device, and its RFID field is amplified and transferred to the client antenna. Each antenna comes with 3M double-sided tape for easy permanent attachment.

Available with a 30cm or 50cm cable.
Compatible with all 13.56MHz RFID systems.

Detailed functionality

Featuring a pair of tuned antennas coupled with a premium low-loss coax cable, the RFID Range Extender has applications across multiple industries:

• Pen Testing:
• The slim-profile (0.8mm) antennas can be easily hidden, allowing for discrete reading / sniffing of target tags.
• The antennas can be placed behind / on top of existing readers to sniff legitimate badge scans
• Industrial:
• Boost the reading range of devices with underpowered embedded readers / antennas
• Protect devices by keeping them in a more practical / safe / clean environment, and only exposing the reading element.
• Practical:
• Social-distance aware reading: allow clients to scan badges without approaching or touching the host device
• Create a physically separated "reading zone" for devices with sensitive antennas, such as mobile phones
