SP5504


The Zebra SP5504 is a Point-of-Sale optimized UHF RFID antenna designed for tightly controlled read zones. It is ideal for checkout counters, pickup areas, and retail lanes where precise detection of items is critical without reading nearby inventory.

The SP5504 is engineered to provide highly accurate RFID coverage in POS and transaction areas. Unlike standard wide-area RFID antennas, it delivers a narrow and focused read field that targets only the items passing through the checkout or pickup zone.

This minimizes unintended reads from adjacent areas and ensures every tagged product moving through the lane is automatically detected — improving transaction accuracy, reducing shrinkage, and enhancing customer experience.

Designed for overhead or vertical mounting in narrow corridors such as checkout lanes and will-call desks, the antenna is compact and easy to install. Its circular polarization allows reliable tag detection regardless of item orientation. The SP5504 is an ideal component of modern retail RFID systems that require precise and dependable read performance.
