February 14, 2006 – OMRON RFID today announced the introduction of the V750 Series Gen 2 (C1G2) “Wave” tag, designed to deliver high-read performance in all UHF RFID frequency spectrums.

UHF RFID communication bands are specified for use between 860 MHz and 960 MHz by international standards. According to OMRON RFID Chief Strategist Bill Arnold, “Acceptable read/write performance has only been possible through the use of a different tag design optimized for each regional frequency band.Demand is growing for a single RFID tag that can perform in all UHF RFID frequencies. RFID-fueled global commerce will benefit because product manufacturers can choose just one tag design for use around the world.”

Arnold continued, “OMRON RFID has a core competency in inlay antenna design. Our ability in this area is further demonstrated by the capabilities of the “Loop” tag, a class 1 inlay, designed for superior performance even when applied to substances that are RF ‘unfriendly’.” The Loop tag is available for immediate shipment.

These tags along with other OMRON RFID products will be on display at the AutoID Expo, Feb 16 – 17 in Osaka, Japan, and at RFID World in Dallas, Texas, Feb 27 – March 1.

The Gen 2 “Wave” tag, designed to provide high read performance in all UHF defined communications bands is manufactured using “Jomful” a patented technology for attaching IC’s to antenna boards.

The Loop tag is ideal for pallets, cases that have metal or high moisture products and applications that need readability from multiple orientations.
