RFID Journal reports on some new developments with RFID tag technologies.
Representatives from Alien Technology, a Morgan Hill, Calif., startup, set up a reader at the front of the room and took one of their tags carrying an electronic product code (EPC) down the aisle with a tape measure. Alien has produced the first UHF tag based on the Auto-ID Center‚s specification and has been telling customers conservatively that it has a read range of three meters, or 10 feet. The tag was read from more than 13 meters, or about 45 feet.
