Custom-Engineered RFID Chambers: Tailored Solutions for Your Needs

RFID chambers are specialized anechoic test facilities with controlled environments specifically designed to test and evaluate RFID (radio frequency identification) systems and components. They provide a shielded space that minimizes external radio frequency interference, allowing for accurate testing of RFID tags, readers and antennas. 

PPG’s Cuming-Lehman Chambers brand specializes in custom-engineered solutions tailored to the specific needs of our customers. This includes designing RFID chambers that accommodate various sizes and configurations of RFID systems. We use advanced materials that are effective in minimizing electromagnetic interference and ensuring the integrity of test results. Our chambers can be integrated with other testing equipment and systems, providing a comprehensive solution for clients looking to evaluate RFID technologies. 

When To Use an RFID Chamber
