UHF Gen 2: Deep and Wide, Near and Far

The key to this development is Impinj's patented (and patents pending) technologies for harnessing UHF's near field - that aspect of the radio wave that is particularly well-suited to close range, item-level RFID operations. The result is a growing suite of application-optimized, nearfield UHF Gen 2 solutions that comprise Impinj's Speedway reader, Monza tag chips, and a host of specialized tag and reader antenna products. A brief survey of UHF near-field RFID deployments in retail, textiles, and pharmaceuticals illustrates the many solutions that are already producing tremendous results from the manufacturing floor to the point of sale.
