Observing growing demand for RFID tags having additional data storage capacity and product authentication, the leading RFID chipmaker Impinj has launched two new RFID chips recently. These are Monaco/64 and Monza/ID.



The striking feature of these chips is that they empower RFID tags to carry more user-programmable data than just a 96-bit EPC. These are highly useful for product authentication for the manufacturing industry of both big and small.



Manaco/64: It possesses 64 bits of memory power. It is meant for the applications where users require to add rewritable data to a tag. Manufacturers could use it to store product information, warranty or expiration and lot data.



Impinj’s Manaco/64 is highly productive for the Airlines and Pharmaceutical industries where storage of data is vital for the smooth operation of the entire system.



Monza/ID: Certified by EPCglobal, the Monza/ID has also possesses 64 bits of memory. The RFID tags with Monza/ID chips are very useful for the big manufacturing companies that badly need product authentication each day. It can be used to encode a unique, unalterable identifier programmed by Impinj when the chip is being produced.



Impinj had earlier entered into the market with Gen2 silicon Texas Instruments similar to that of RFID chips. However, it could not hit the market because of STMicroelectronics’ XRAG2 chips. Impinj hopes to dominate the hot RFID market with its latest chips.
