Fujitsu's Light Tags Have 256 Bytes of FRAM for Tracking and Distribution
Fujitsu Microelectronics America Inc. today introduced the newest member of its FerVID family of RFID tags, the MB89R119, which incorporates 256 bytes of FRAM and operates at approximately 50 times the speed of tags that use EEPROM. Designed to use the 13.56 MHz frequency, the MB89R119 costs about the same as EEPROM RFID tags, but provides significantly faster read/write operations. It can complete write operations at roughly double the speed of an EEPROM-based tag. The memory uses proprietary Fujitsu commands issued by the chip, resulting in read operations that are approximately twice as fast as conventional products.
The reduction in the time required for read/write operations means the MB89R119 tag is less susceptible to external noise, making the communications process very reliable. The new MB89R119 has 256 bytes of FRAM, resulting in a smaller package than other members of the FerVID family, including the MB89R116, which includes 2KB of FRAM. In addition to the speed advantage that FRAM offers, the small size, and low cost of the new product will facilitate its use in a wide range of applications across various industries. Like all members of the FerVID family, the MB89R119 complies with ISO/IEC15693, the most widely used international standard for RFID tags.
The use of low-power FRAM obviates the need for a voltage step-up circuit, which most conventional EEPROM-based RFID tags require. This reduces the chip's total space requirements. By reducing the memory capacity compared to the existing MB89R118 model, the result is a more compact, lower-cost RFID tag.

RF IDentics Offers Wide Selection of Gen 2 Tags
RF IDentics is one of the first to market with unique Gen 2 RFID tags. RF IDentics designs and manufactures high performance, low-cost RFID tags using proprietary processes developed specifically for high volume production. Many of the tags can be specifically tuned to the products to which they are attached. Additionally, many of the products offer dual di-pole designs which increase orientation performance and result in greatly improved RFID system results.
RF IDentics is part of the Impinj's "first to market" program, so they currently offer the largest Gen 2 product line available today. This family of tags covers a wide array of tag sizes for most RFID tagging and labeling needs. RF IDentics' Class 1 and Class 0+ RFID products deliver high-speed, long-range data re-writability while maintaining full compatibility with the EPCglobal Class 1 and Class 0+ specifications. Among the more unique tags this company offers is a tag the size of a postage stamp with six feet of read range and a tag that performs when directly attached to a full plastic beverage container.
