Alien Technology has introduced a novel RFID tag that incorporates all of the advanced Alien Higgs-4 IC features in a tag so thin it could be placed on the side of today’s sleek smart phones and tablets and still have millimeters to spare on each side.
This form-factor is expected to open up new RFID applications where tag thickness previously posed a roadblock. The Alien SlimLine tag is nominally 5.8 millimeters (mm) thin, but if the inlay alignment targets are not needed, they may be ignored – reducing the tag to only 3.05 mm.
“The SlimLine tag is expected to open up new RFID applications including tagging book spines, door edges, tobacco, small package labels, shipping labels and other narrow form-factor assets,” said Mike Frieswyk, Alien Technology, vice president of sales and marketing. “With Higgs-4, the SlimLine tag will also have industry-leading read and write sensitivity and all the mass-market capabilities demanded by today’s international organizations.”
In addition to form-factor, the SlimLine tag provides all the performance, features and mass-market capabilities provided through the use of Alien’s leading-edge Higgs-4 UHF Passive RFID IC. The SlimLine is available immediately, including “dry,” “wet,” clear, white and in a variety of custom label sizes.
