2.2 Key benefits

Tags/labels and readers available from various suppliers

First UHF EPC product operating worldwide

Highly advanced anti-collision resulting in highest identification speed

Reliable and robust RFID technology suitable for dense reader and noisy environment

Secure UHF communication; readers do not transmit EPC data

Broadest industry back-up - EPCglobal and ISO 18000-6C

Reader portfolio covers all regional demands

2.3 RF Interface Features

Contact-less transmission of data and supply energy (no battery needed)

Long-range operating distance

Operating frequency within the released operating bands from 860 MHz to 960 MHz

High data integrity: 16-bit CRC, framing

High anti-collision and inventory speed

Data rates:

R -> T: 40 to 160 kbps,

T -> R: 40 to 465 kbps (Divide ratio DR = 8) or 95 to 640 kbps (DR = 64/3)

Uses a slotted random anti-collision algorithm where the UCODE EPC G2 IC loads a

random (or pseudo-random) number into a slot counter, decrement this slot counter

based on interrogator commands, and reply to the interrogator when their slot counter

reaches zero. Supports the full mandatory command set as well as optional and

Customer commands according to the standard
