Mu-Gahat provides more rapid RFID tag time to market for label converters, integrators, design engineers and end users.

Mu-Gahat officially launched today by announcing its revolutionary custom RFID inlay design service, low-volume production minimums, and stock inlay line.

“Label converters, integrators, design engineers, and frustrated end-users have needed a solution for rapid prototyping and low-medium volume RFID production for quite some time. Our research showed that many customers do not need millions of inlays at a time. Mu-Gahat has developed specialized processes and equipment designed to meet today’s prototyping and just-in-time production requirements.” said Baxter Watkins, CEO.

Development Targets a Compact and Low-Cost Reader/Writer for Wide-Spread Use of RFID by Retail and Individual Customers

NEC Corporation has developed the world's first(1) multi-RFID reader/writer (a device that can both read and write tag data) supporting three major RFID (IC) tag frequencies (13.56MHz, UHF band and 2.45GHz), as well as the world's most used protocols(2). To further miniaturize and reduce the cost of the multi-reader/writer, NEC plans to commercialize dedicated LSI in fiscal 2008.

With the market exhibiting a mix of RFID tags with different frequencies and protocols, the unavailability of a dedicated reader/writer for all RFID tags has created a bottleneck in expansion of the RFID market.
