RSI ID Technologies Produces Gen 2 Labels
RSI ID Technologies (RSI), one of the nation's only vertically integrated providers of RFID technology, today announced its part in history with their production of EPC compliant Gen2 labels, making them one of the first companies to market with a Gen2 product.
RSI is leveraging their assembly line machinery and new patented processes to integrate Gen2 silicon chips into EPC compliant labels. RSI is using silicon chips from Impinj, Inc., the exclusive provider of Self-Adaptive Silicon® technology. RSI's in-house capabilities enable the company to pair the Gen2 silicon chip with an antenna, assemble the two components into an inlay and convert the inlays into Gen2 compliant, pressure-sensitive labels. These labels are the first to fully support all features of the Gen 2 specification. With the manufacture of the Gen 2 labels, RSI is able to provide their customers with fully Gen 2 compliant RFID solutions.
RSI CEO Wolf Bielas says, "We are proud to be a pioneer in the RFID market with Gen2 product. Our labels will be the benchmark for all the Gen2 products that follow. Our capacity for antenna design, manufacturing, converting, verification and integration to the end user, gives RSI the ability to provide the best value and most flexible solution to meet our customer's needs."
RSI will show Gen2 product at the RFID Journal LIVE! tradeshow in Chicago, which runs from Monday April 11th through Wednesday April 13th. RSI is accepting orders for volume production in Q3 of 2005.
RSI will be at booth #516 at the RFID Journal LIVE! tradeshow.
