Silicon Valley startup company Tagent had developed an ultra-wideband (UWB) passive tag RFID system that will be piloted this summer at a California medical lab. The new system, according to Geoff Zawolkow, the company's VP of marketing and business development, will offer a locating capability and read range comparable to that of an active UWB tag, but in a form factor and price that would allow them to attach the tags to disposable labels.
The Talon system features the Talon Integrated RTLS Tag, a 2-millimeter (0.1-inch) passive RFID chip with a built-in antenna. The system also includes a specially designed RFID interrogator, as well as a network of power nodes that emit a 5.8 GHz RF signal that energizes the tags. The power nodes, deployed 2 meters (6.6 feet) apart from one another, can also be used to determine a chip's location.
Handy that, you oppose that, you will be accused of being against medicine but who needs RFID chips to locate something at best a stride away?
