Specs, 64KB RFID Tag

Published Wed, 2008-01-09 21:16 RFID

Key Features:

1. World's highest-capacity RFID tags
Featuring 64KB high-capacity FRAM, Fujitsu's RFID tags deliver high-speed data writing capability and high durability. The tags also offer state-of-the-art security functions, such as password management for each part of the memory area.
2. Compatible with different frequencies used around the world
The new RFID tag can be implemented globally as a result of compliance with the EPCglobal Class 1 Generation 2 standard, supporting a variety of frequencies used in different countries. Furthermore, the tag can be mounted on metal surfaces and meets fire retardancy standards by satisfying the testing requirements for SAE AS5678(3) specifications, which are required to be met for high-quality aviation parts.
3. Highly efficient aircraft maintenance
The high memory and overall capability of Fujitsu's 64KB RFID tag will enable numerous automated data exchange and data management processes by providing a robust, point-of-use information source, resulting in significant cycle-time and cost reduction opportunities for airline maintenance operations and supply chain management.

Key Specifications:

* Standards:
EPCglobal Class 1 Generation 2* / ISO/IEC 18000-6 Type C*
*Class 1 Generation 2:
A transmission standard instituted by EPCglobal, for data transmission between readers/writers and UHF-RFID tags. This is a second-generation standard specification that improves performance of the EPC Class 1 specification.
*ISO/IEC 18000-6 Type C:
An international standard for UHF-RFID tags, defined by ISO and based on EPCglobal's "EPCglobal Class 1 Generation 2" standard.
* Memory size:
65,536Byte (System Memory: 1,280Byte, User Memory*: 64,256Byte)
*User Memory:
Refers to the memory area of the RFID tag in which the user can freely read/write, which some low-cost RFID tags do not feature. The user memory size of conventional RFID tags is usually a few hundred bits.
* Tag dimensions*:
2 x 1 inch (Width: 50.8mm, Depth: 25.4mm, Height: 6.22mm)
*Fujitsu plans to develop smaller and lighter RFID tags.
* Weight:
13.6 g
* Frequency:
860-960 MHz

64KB FRAM RFID Tag Fujitsu Limited developed the world's first 64 kilobyte (KB) ultra-high frequency (UHF)-band radio frequency identification (RFID) tag with high-capacity FRAM, featuring memory capacity sufficient to store large volumes of aircraft part and maintenance history data, while supporting a number of different radio frequencies to enable traceability worldwide. Fujitsu anticipates that this 64KB UHF-RFID tag will transform global aircraft maintenance operations.
AT&T Offers RFID Tracking AT&T Inc.

RFID Consumer Awareness Campaign AIM Global has launched an aggressive and proactive RFID outreach initiative in the United States to educate the general public and policy makers about the myriad consumer benefits of RFID technologies. The campaign will also provide relevant, timely examples of consumer-oriented RFID applications, dispel myths promoting public concern about the technology, and correct inaccuracies and misperceptions about the usage of RFID in society today.
RFID Market, $8.4 billion In 2012 Starting from a base of more than $3.8 billion in revenue in 2007, worldwide RFID markets are expected to reach $8.4 billion in 2012, according to a new study from ABI Research. The 2007 figure represents a 24% growth over 2006, and the curve to 2012 indicates a compound annual growth rate of 21%. While few large RFID implementations have been announced, extensive pilot programs and closed-loop deployments are demonstrating the value propositions and cost justification for RFID. For example, asset tracking in health care; WIP tracking in manufacturing; and returnable transport items such as pallets and containers provide a significant return-on-investment and the opportunity to amortize the cost of transponders over several years.
