By Times 7, Oct 22, 2020

Ever wondered what the differences are between NearField and far-field antennas? Times-7 has created two antennas that look identical to the naked eye but have very different qualities.

The A5020 Antenna is renowned for its small footprint, robust nature and, superior performance. Times-7 has both a True NearField A5020 as well as a standard far-field version, dependant on user needs.

A5020 True NearField Antenna
