Monday, August 30, 2010

Enable IPC (Intellectual Property Commercialization), Madison, Wis., has reached an agreement with a manufacturer of RFID tags and readers to provide ultracapacitor-based products to improve a tag’s read range.

The unnamed customer has committed, subject to product development and testing, to purchase $4.5 million in customized ultracapacitor devices from Enable over the next three years.


Both Enable and its customer anticipate that the longer read range will provide much needed traction in the RFID tag market. [end]
