Detailed Product Description

The GEN 2 6C,short for the Gen 2 (ISO 18000-6C) standard was designed based on performance requirements and other input from the end-user community, including retailers and consumer-goods manufacturers. It is meant to enable supply-chain trading partners to encode data to and interrogate EPCs from passive UHF tags in a similar manner, so that they might share an interoperable interrogation and software infrastructure. Manufacturers of RFID tags and interrogators (readers) could be more eager to make hardware based on the Gen 2 standard now that it is a recognized ISO standard. The passage of Gen 2 as a global standard could also foster greater competition in the passive UHF RFID systems market, which could lead to lower costs for end users.
