Tuesday, December 2, 2008

German RFID inlay maker TagStar Systems GmbH has introduced a new line of inlays featuring the Texas Instruments transponder Tag-it chips. The new TI-enhanced inlays are available in two memory sizes, using both the Tag-it HF-I Standard/Pro with 256 bits memory and, for more advanced RFID applications, the TI Tag-it HF-I Plus chips with 2048 bits memory.

TagStar offers inlays with the Tag-It HF-I Plus chips in three sizes: 40x25mm, 45x42mm and 45x76mm. The inlay provider will also work with customers to design customized inlays of any size to meet special application needs, using any chips from the TI family. [end]
