Media Alert: Leading RFID Vendors Support Ultra High Frequency (UHF) For Item-Level Pharmaceuticals

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.

           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.
