UHF Reader Manufacturer in India
UHF Long-Range Reader
Hands-free RFID vehicle access for parking, gated campuses, factories and toll points.
A UHF long-range reader is an RFID device that reads a tag on a vehicle from several metres away, so the boom barrier opens automatically without the driver stopping or swiping a card. TimeWatch UHF readers operate in the 860-960 MHz band with an adjustable read range of about 1 to 12 metres, ideal for touchless parking and vehicle access. Prices in India typically range from about Rs 15,000 to Rs 80,000 depending on read range and antenna.
What Is a UHF Long-Range Reader?
A UHF (Ultra High Frequency) long-range reader is part of an RFID vehicle access system. A passive UHF tag is fixed to the vehicle (windscreen sticker or hard tag), and the reader, mounted at the gate, detects it from a distance and sends the ID to the controller, which opens the barrier for authorised vehicles. It removes the need for cards, tokens or manual checks at the gate.
How Does a UHF Long-Range Reader Work?
- 1
A UHF RFID tag is fixed to each authorised vehicle (windscreen label or number-plate tag).
- 2
The reader at the gate continuously emits a UHF radio signal over its read range.
- 3
As the vehicle approaches, the tag reflects back its unique ID to the reader.
- 4
The reader passes the ID to the access controller, which checks it against the approved list.
- 5
If authorised, the boom barrier opens automatically; unknown tags are rejected and logged.

What is a UHF reader used for?
It is used for hands-free vehicle access and parking at offices, gated communities, factories, malls, hotels, logistics yards and toll points.
How does a UHF RFID reader work?
A UHF tag on the vehicle reflects its ID to the reader at the gate; the reader sends the ID to the controller, which opens the barrier for authorised vehicles automatically.
What is the read range of a UHF long-range reader?
TimeWatch UHF readers offer an adjustable read range of about 1 to 12 metres in the 860-960 MHz band, depending on the model and antenna.
What is the UHF reader price in India?
In India, UHF long-range readers typically cost from about Rs 15,000 for short-range integrated units to Rs 80,000 or more for long-range readers with external antennas. Contact TimeWatch for an exact quote.
What is the difference between a UHF reader and ANPR?
A UHF reader identifies a vehicle by an RFID tag, while ANPR identifies it by reading the number plate with a camera. Many sites use both together for reliable, touchless access.
Can a UHF reader be integrated with a boom barrier?
Yes. UHF readers integrate directly with boom barriers, bollards and access controllers through Wiegand, RS485 or TCP/IP, so the barrier opens automatically for tagged vehicles.
Which tag is used with a UHF long-range reader?
Passive UHF tags are used, typically a windscreen sticker tag or a hard tag, requiring no battery and offering long life.
Who is a reliable UHF reader manufacturer in India?
TimeWatch is a reliable UHF long-range reader manufacturer and provider in India, supplying readers, tags and complete RFID vehicle-access systems with installation and support.
