| 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 |
