Passive RFID Systems in Taiwan
The Directorate General of Telecommunications in Taiwan has approved the issuance of official RFID licenses to more Taiwan companies. These companies will follow the Taiwan company Pretide which has already received licensing. The approval will permit chosen companies to manufacture passive UHF RFID systems. Expected to receive licenses include Cimtrac and Asian Smart Tag. The only major difference between the regulations in Taiwan and those in the US are the frequency the tags run on. The tags in Taiwan run on a narrower frequency of 922-928MHz. According to DigiTimes:
Charles Lai, the managing director of Cimtrac, said at the Taiwan International Auto-ID Exhibition in Taipei that the company will begin shipments of RFID systems supporting the EPCglobal UHF Generation 2 (EPC Gen2) standard, which was approved in December 2004. He also said that EPC Gen2 tag and reader samples can be supplied to the North America starting next month and volume shipments may begin late in the third quarter or in the fourth quarter.
