2 Key benefits
2.1 End user benefit
  • Long READ and WRITE ranges due to leading edge chip sensitivity
  • Very fast bulk encoding
  • Product identification through unalterable extended TID range, including a 48-bit serial number
  • Reliable operation in dense reader and noisy environments through high interference rejection
2.2 Antenna design benefits
  • High sensitivity enables smaller and cost efficient antenna designs for the same retail category
  • Tag Power Indicator features enables very high density of inlay on rolls without crosstalk issues during writing/encoding
  • The different input capacitance for the single slit antenna solution provides an additional possibility in tuning of the impedance for the antenna design
2.3 Label manufacturer benefit
  • Large RF pad-to-pad distance to ease antenna design
  • Symmetric RF inputs are less sensitive to process variation
  • Single slit antenna for a more mechanically stable antenna connection
  • Automatic self pre-serialization of the 96-bit EPC
  • Extremely fast encoding of the EPC content
3 Supported features
  • All mandatory commands of EPC global specification V.1.2.0 are implemented
    including:

    • (Perma)LOCK
    • Kill Command
  • The following optional commands are implemented in conformance with the EPC
    specification:

    • Access
    • lockWrite (2 words, 32-bit)
  • Product Status Flag bit: enables the UHF RFID tag to be used as EAS (Electronic Article Surveillance) tag without the need for a back-end data base.
  • Tag Power Indicator: enables the reader to select only ICs/tags that have enough power to be written to.
  • Parallel encoding: allows for the ability to bring (multiple) tag(s) quickly to the OPEN state and hence allowing single tags to be identified simply, without timing restrictions, or multiple tags to be e.g. written to at the same time, considerably reducing the encoding process

All supported features of UCODE 7 can be activated using standard EPCglobal READ /
WRITE / ACCESS / SELECT commands. No custom commands are needed to take
advantage of all the features in case of unlocked EPC memory. The parallel encoding
feature may however require a firmware upgrade of the reader to use its full potential.
