Savi unveils chip designed to streamline RFID development

Thursday, July 1, 2010

Savi Technology unveiled a new RFID component intended to streamline design and development processes of DASH7 RFID-based tracking devices.

Combining three microprocessor chips into one unit the size of a dime, the new silicon system-on-a-chip (SoC) features an ultra-low power 32-bit ARM processor core in a single 9mm x 9mm chip package.

Its design aims to consolidate and simplify integration of electrical circuitry used to process and store data on RFID tags and readers used in supply-chain tracking. [end] 

Impinj Inc., a provider of ultra-high frequency Gen 2 RFID technology, announced the introduction of the Indy R500 UHF reader chip.
