  • RFID tags go underground
    Confidex, a company with expertise in RFID design, manufacturing and engineering, has supplied more than 10,000 of its Ironside UHF Gen2 hard tags to the London Underground.
  • RFID: a mechanics dream
    Radio frequency tagging has reached the motor vehicle manufacturing industry but not just as a guide to warehouse parts: the latest tags are actually attached to components inside a working car
  • Is RFID safe and secure?
    We've heard a lot about RFID - it's used in supermarkets, implanted in pets and even by blood banks - but is it actually secure?

  • RFID tags
    The UPM Raflatac optimised Dog Bone, Short Dipole and Frog RFID tags are now available. The updated UHF EPC, Class 1 Gen 2 products have been enhanced with Impinj’s Monza 3 ICs.
  • RFID system
    Syscan International has developed the iCE RFID device, based on IEEE 802.15.4.
  • Ferroxtag RFID tags
    Ferroxtag is a family of RFID tags suitable for attaching to metal items. The operation frequency is 13.56 MHz and the family of high-frequency transponders is based on a ferrite antenna, which means the tag needs much less area than standard inlays for a similar reading range.
  • Smart labels
    Domi HF smart labels now incorporate the Philips ICODE SL2 ICS20 chip with 1 Kb R/W EEPROM for producing RFID tags.

  • Keeping track of surgical sponges
    Using the same technology found in clothing tags used in retail shop tracking systems, a study from the University of North Carolina shows that surgical sponges with implanted RF tags may be an effective adjunct to manual counting and X-ray detection in preventing sponges from being left behind in patients following surgery.
  • RFID alternative is new standard
    Visible Assets says that the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) has approved RuBee, a long-wavelength, packet-based, magnetic transceiver protocol, as a new international standard designated IEEE 1902.1.
  • Breakthrough in organic RFID
    The Holst Centre presented a plastic 64-bit inductively coupled passive RFID tag operating at 13.56 MHz at the International Solid State Circuit Conference.
