RSI ID Technologies Announces Release Of Four New Tag Designs
San Diego, CA — November 6, 2007 - RSI ID Technologies (RSI), a leading manufacturer of RFID antennas, inlays and tags, announced today the release of four new antenna designs featuring NXP?s next-generation UCODE G2X IC, bringing to market a combination of products offering excellent performance at competitive prices, including designs targeted for non-standard size and near-field applications.
All the RSI designs, Corkscrew, Interval, KAT2, and Cube2, have been developed to work interchangeably with both the standard and expanded memory chips from NXP. Leveraging the improvements in performance of the new ICs, these new antenna designs offer flexibility in the selection of the IC memory based on the application requirements.
"Based on our past successes in working together on UHF Gen2 projects, we are pleased that RSI ID Technologies has selected our new NXP UCODE G2X silicon for passive smart tags and labels," said Jan-Willem Reynaerts, general manager, market sector RFID, NXP Semiconductors. "With reliable operation on different materials, across very long read ranges and in dense reader environments, the UCODE G2X offers breakthrough UHF performance, as well as the largest user memory available on the market today. As the leader in RFID chips, NXP is committed to serving the market for UHF applications with our next-generation smart label ICs."
The G2 XM and XL ICs from NXP offer scalable EPC numbers up to 240 bits and an expanded memory chip that offers an additional 512 bits of user defined memory, which is a benefit for both standard applications and those that require additional memory capacity.
"RSI is excited about these new designs," said Wolf Bielas, CEO of RSI ID Technologies. "The performances of these tag designs are on par with the best designs available, which make these tags an excellent choice for a broad range of applications from supply chain to item level tracking." All four of the RSI designs are currently in production. For more information about the inlays, or to procure a sample for testing, please visit www.rsiid.com or call 619-656-2515.
