New White Paper Dispels Myths About UHF RFID HOLTSVILLE, N.Y., June 8 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- WHAT: Leading RFID vendors have united to dispel the myths about using UHF RFID for pharmaceuticals to provide counterfeit protection, regulatory compliance and increase consumer safety, in a new white paper available today. The group today asserts that UHF RFID can match and exceed the benefits offered by HF, contrary to certain earlier reports of superior high frequency (HF) performance for such item-level deployments. (LOGO: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20041029/SYMBOLOGO ) Specifically, the UHF frequency: * Works on and in close proximity to liquids * Works on metal (and effectively utilizes the metal for improved performance) * Is easily constrained to the controlled read ranges necessary for item-level applications * Can offer the same level of security as HF. Beyond HF, the UHF frequency: * Provides 500 percent higher read speeds * Enables the production of less costly tags * Enables small tags and flexibility in tag form factor. Only UHF can support the full range of RFID enterprise applications - item, case and pallet - enabling the cost- efficiencies of a single infrastructure in the enterprise, and throughout industry supply chains. By avoiding the deployment of two or more separate RFID infrastructures for different applications, UHF users will dramatically reduce the costs associated with the purchase of RFID hardware, deployment and ongoing management and support.
