by Brianna Crandall — January 31, 2011—GAO RFID has released a UHF RFID fob tag specially designed for loop attachment to key rings or other items with similar style mounting requirements. The robust tag facilitates tracking assets including tracking tools and equipment for real-time inventory visibility and automated check-out/check-in procedures. It can be attached to tracked assets using a ring or tie wrap, and can prevent detuning when in close proximity to liquids and metals, such as next to the body or on a keychain with other keys.
The compact UHF RFID Fob tag, model 136007, operates over the frequency band of 902 to 928MHz for North America and 865 to 868MHz for Europe or India. It features high receive signal sensitivity, high backscatter efficiency, low turn-on threshold, high read/write reliability and multi-stage wake up.
The fob tag offers 64kb memory total with 60kb rewritable non-volatile user memory to store user information such as E-manifest, maintenance records, custody chain and history. Selected groups of tags can be activated separately, enabling faster identification and storing of tagged items. The fob tag boasts a maximum read distance of 25m and supports data rates of 8kb for forward link and 32kb/s for reverse link.
