Japan Handsets Get Mini RFID For Mobile Apps

Wednesday, September 27, 2006 in News

Tokyo-based KDDI Corporation and Hitachi Ltd. today announced the launch of the Muchip Reader, which both companies tout as the “world’s smallest sized muchip RFID tag” for Bluetooth-enabled handsets.

Each muchip can store up to 38 digits by the decimal number system, including a tracking system, which records not only the information, but where the information was extracted from. Since it is compact in size, it can be used anywhere, even in places without LAN network infrastructure.

Production of Muchip Reader, which is priced at 84,000 yen, is set to begin on October 2, according to reports. [end]
