Radio Frequency Identification Technology for Logistics, Tagging and EPC

Intelleflex, Omni-ID team for high-memory passive tags

Wednesday, April 14, 2010

Intelleflex announced a partnership with Omni-ID to develop high-memory EPC Class1 Gen 2 standards based tags using Intelleflex’s XC1 chip technology.

The Intelleflex XC1 chip offers 60-kbits of extended memory and is EPCglobal certified. On-chip memory is organized into 1 K block, each having its own read, write and permalock password.


Other security features include encrypted over-the-air data transfers between the tag and reader, user security for accessing the data in extended memory, and authentication of the tag to confirm the tag is the original tag, not a cloned version.

Omni-ID’s product line is set to include tags with the XC1 chip in the third quarter of this year. [end] 

Omni-ID announced that it has launched a new extended three-year warranty program for its passive ultra-high frequency RFID tag products.

The Omni-ID product development process consists of proprietary testing that includes pre-production testing and 100% testing at three points during manufacture to ensure the stability and durability of the tags and tag components at delivery and in real world deployments.
