The new chip promises to be the highest-functioning EPC Gen 2 UHF RFID IC on the market, the company claims, enabling the development of smaller, more versatile tags.
The system features a device designed to locate large items in storage yards by transmitting its GPS location via a cellular connection, using RFID technology to link the tracking unit to the object to which it attached.
The Sniper, attached to a standard high-frequency reader or an NFC-enabled smartphone, can make it possible to read very small HF tags, after which users can access data linked to the tags on the company’s cloud-based server.
The new UHF EPC Gen 2 tag, available in two sizes, can be pressed or hammered directly into a circular hole in a metal object, without requiring epoxy to hold it in place.
End users and solution providers are beginning to understand the value of RFID Connect.
