FEATURE DESCRIPTION BENEFIT
Small form factor, non-near field read tag Despite its diminutive size (22 x 12.5mm), this tag uses conventional long range UHF antenna unlike many other competitive tag solutions. Offers read/write distances in the order of feet/meters unlike other competitive tags that are near-field and only read an inch or two.
Tuned for metal and cosmetics Designed to be in close proximity to metal or metallic surfaces. Uses the metal surfaces to “amplify” the read/write distance of the tag.
Next generation Higgs-EC features and performance A mass-market optimized tag with class leading read and write performance. Supports Alien’s BlastWrite™ Rapid programming of serialized tags and excellent read/write performance
