This article is brought to you by Retail Technology Review: UPM Raflatac introduces new DogBone UHF RFID tag with groundbreaking performance and security features.

UPM Raflatac is introducing an enhanced new DogBone UHF RFID product optimised to deliver high-level global performance over a wide range of challenging materials and equipped with outstanding new security features. The new DogBone incorporates Monza 4 ICs from Impinj.

With a new IC and improved RF performance, the product offers a number of features; including QT technology and STID (Serial Tag ID).

The globally functional product also offers excellent performance over high dielectric and other challenging materials, where other products fail to meet the necessary criteria.

The feature-rich new DogBone makes passive RFID technology a feasible solution for end-uses where extended memory capabilities, robust global performance over challenging materials and advanced security and privacy features are essential.

UPM Raflatac is launching the product at RFID Journal Live in Orlando, FL, USA on April 14-16, 2010. The product will be available in volume starting from June 2010.
