The ((rfid))-DistaFerr Global Label contains an integrated dual-band antenna that enables reading of the two frequency bands, ETSI and FCC.
In RFID technology, two different frequency bands are used worldwide: these are ETSI (European Telecommunications Standards Institute) in Europe and FCC (Federal Communications Commission) in the US and Asia. Consequently, if a component is exported to several regions it requires diverse RFID labels. However, the new ((rfid))-DistaFerr Global Label provides an efficient and cost-effective solution because it covers both frequency ranges.
Like all RFID on Metal labels, the new device, because of its specific shielding materials, guarantees reliable readability on metal components, containers and transport items. The 50 x 40mm label is only 1.7 mm thick and has read range of up to three metres. In the long-range version, a read range of up to six metres is possible.
The new label is considered a good alternative to hard tags, can be custom-printed and programmed on site, is automatically dispensed off the roll and is easy to apply. It is thus ideally suited for use in process automation and logistics applications.
