Brady HH86 reader UHF 868 2D imager LTE EU

Brady HH86 UHF RFID reader 868 with 2D imager and LTE EU

The Brady HH86 UHF RFID reader 868 with 2D imager and LTE EU is a rugged handheld scanner for professional data collection in industrial and logistics environments. This model builds on the proven HH86 series and adds mobile LTE connectivity, enabling real-time data communication without dependence on local networks. The combination of UHF RFID, NFC, HF and extended barcode scanning makes this device a versatile all-in-one solution for modern identification processes.

Designed for demanding work environments.

The HH86 LTE is designed for intensive daily use in challenging conditions. The ergonomic design supports prolonged scanning sessions and is stable in the hand, even when gloved. Thanks to its IP65 rating, the device is protected from dust and water, while its drop resistance of up to 1.6 meters provides additional security in the workplace. The capacitive HD color touchscreen with Gorilla Glass 3 remains easy to read and resistant to scratches and impact.

Excellent RFID and barcode performance.

The scanner delivers powerful UHF RFID performance and can read up to 1200 tags per second. The circularly polarized antenna with 4 dBic gain ensures reliable readability of RFID tags regardless of their orientation. In addition to RFID, the HH86 supports a very wide range of 1D and 2D barcodes, including QR codes, Data Matrix, PDF417 and GS1 standards. This makes the device suitable for applications such as logistics identification, inspection tags, security identification and RFID labeling.

LTE connectivity for real-time data streams.

The distinguishing feature of this version is the integrated LTE support, complemented by UMTS and GSM. This allows data to be transmitted directly to backend systems, even in locations without WiFi infrastructure. This makes the HH86 LTE particularly suitable for outdoor applications, mobile inspections and distributed work sites. In addition to mobile networks, the device also supports WiFi, Bluetooth 5.1 and USB for flexible integration.

Powerful software and reusable development.

The HH86 LTE runs on Android 13 and is upgradeable to Android 14. Thanks to the powerful octa-core processor, 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of internal storage, the system runs smoothly even with complex applications. Key APIs are backwards compatible with previous Brady and Nordic ID models, making it easy to reuse existing software. This reduces development costs and speeds up deployments within existing IT environments.

Suitable for professional workflows

The Brady HH86 LTE integrates seamlessly with Brady SmartID solutions and Nordic ID technology. The device is deployed in sectors such as logistics, manufacturing, inspection, security and food industry. Combining ruggedness, high scanning performance and mobile connectivity, this handheld RFID scanner is ideal for organizations that require real-time visibility and maximum flexibility within their identification and tracking processes.
