Convergence Systems and Omni-ID sign global distribution agreement

Convergence Systems Limited (CSL), a designer and manufacturer of RFID equipment, and Omni-ID, a supplier of passive UHF tag technology, have reached a global distribution agreement. CSL will market and resell the full line of Omni-ID RFID tags to a rapidly expanding network of system integrators – many located in Asia, where CSL has a strong presence.

CSL will also offer a starter solution bundle to its resellers that will include CSL's CS101 RFID handheld reader, asset tracking software and Omni-ID RFID tags. This approach is aimed at allowing customers to get a pilot started easily and cost effectively. 

The partnership addresses longstanding RFID challenges of difficult-to-tag assets in the presence of materials such as metal or liquids. For example, asset tracking in an IT datacenter can be both difficult to tag due to the presence of metal and also challenging for fixed RFID readers. ‘With Omni-ID and CSL, customers will benefit from Omni-ID RFID tags that work in harsh environments combined with the proven quality of a CSL handheld reader at an affordable price,’ said the companies in a statement.
