UPM Raflatac has introduced a new, Belt UHF RFID product based on NXP’s UCODE G2iL integrated circuit (IC). The new Belt RFID tag is optimized for a wide range of mass volume applications including item-level retail supply chain and apparel tagging. Advanced features also make it ideal for a number of other item-level applications, including consumer electronics, where reliability and durability are essential.
The Belt product offers exceptional sensitivity and high performance over a wide range of products and materials. The global antenna design enables end-users to achieve dependable, high RF performance using a single tag in all UHF frequency regions worldwide, regardless of local frequency regulations.
Belt with the NXP UCODE G2iL IC
- Antenna size 70 x 14 mm / 2.75 x 0.55"
- 128 bits of EPC memory and 32-bit password protection
- On/off status flag for quality control and security systems
- A unique 64-bit unalterable tag identifier (TID)
- Read protection feature to support privacy
- Available in three delivery formats: dry inlay, wet inlay and paper face tag
“UPM Raflatac has been working with renowned independent test facilities, major retail end-users, and RFID hardware providers, to test, qualify, and approve Belt for immediate deployment in item-level applications. Moreover, Belt’s faster and higher performance combined with lower reader power consumption provides significant additional value on the solution level,”
says Tero Koivisto, Director, UHF Product Line, UPM Raflatac.
“We’re pleased that UPM Raflatac has incorporated the new and versatile NXP UCODE G2iL IC into its standard product portfolio. Our close collaborative relationship with UPM resulted in a high-performance, robust Belt tag suitable across multiple applications in the high volume RFID market.
On-chip features such as the 4R mode support specific privacy needs in the RFID industry, allowing broader use of RFID technology and thus helping fuel market growth as new applications emerge,” says Chris Feige, General Manager, Tagging & Authentication, NXP Semiconductors.
UPM Raflatac’s RFID product range will be further complimented in the near future with new ShortDipole, DogBone and Web products incorporating the UCODE G2iL and G2iL+ ICs.
The UCODE G2iL+ version of the IC provides additional features that depending on the inlay design can include tag tamper alarm, digital i/o, ext. supply mode, direct data transfer and 4R-mode (Real Read Range Reduction). To help protect consumer privacy, the 4R feature allows a significant reduction in the tag's normal read range.
