Designed for emerging inventory management and smart city applications.

NXP Semiconductors N.V. announced it has expanded its portfolio of secure RAIN RFID products with the UCODE DNA Track and UCODE DNA City Tag ICs for inventory and supply chain management as well as smart city applications.
 
The new UCODE DNA tags combine long-range UHF technology with higher security to deliver on NXP’s commitment to support the accelerated adoption of secure RAIN technology in the areas of logistics operations as well as smart city applications such as transport ticketing, event management and access control in the interconnected system infrastructures to help communities and services better serve their customers.
 
“Our customers want RAIN RFID solutions that provide more operational efficiency without compromising security to drive better customer experiences, streamline processes and enable more cost savings,” said Mahdi Mekic, marketing director for RAIN RFID at NXP. “These ICs are designed to deliver reliable long-range identification and secure authentication.
 
“Specifically, UCODE DNA Track can enhance inventory and supply chain management use cases with cryptographic authentication to protect brands and fight fraud,” Mekic added. “With UCODE DNA City, solution providers who are offering systems based on contactless cards in a variety of smart city applications can upgrade their existing offering to include longer-range capability which can then open the door to more services and convenience for consumers.”
