FEC International is marketing a tag made with NXP Semiconductors’ Ucode G2XM chip and an antenna that fits directly onto the IC’s surface, resulting in a tag approximately the size of a grain of sand.
The system, developed by researchers at Finland’s Tampere University of Technology, includes active tags with an alarm button and routers that form a wireless sensor network.
What does the “whole product” look like, and who are the “gorillas” that can provide it?

What to do if you are a startup and don’t have the resources to become an RFID gorilla.
What to do if you are a startup and don’t have the resources to become an RFID gorilla.
For the European EPC Competence Center’s latest annual report, researchers tested dozens of EPC Gen 2 RFID tag models, and discovered that, while performance overall is better than ever, some models suffer a dramatic drop in read rate when packed closely together.
I was recently asked if it is time to invest heavily in the RFID market. Here is my answer.
