RSI ID Technologies expands available RFID baggage antenna designs

RSI ID Technologies (RSI), a manufacturer of RFID antennas, inlays and tags, has introduced a new RFID antenna, the RSI Blade, designed specifically for use in baggage tracking applications.

The RSI Blade leverages the NXP UCODE Gen 2 G2XL and G2XM ICs and offers orientation insensitivity and wideband operation, making it ideal for baggage tracking applications. The addition of the Blade design gives RSI ID partners another option for baggage applications, while offering greater read distance than existing designs.

‘As several industry analysts have noted, both the deployment and consideration for use of RFID in baggage tracking applications continues to evolve,’ said Wolf Bielas, president and CEO of RSI ID Technologies. ‘RSI ID has had an increasing number of requests for inlays designed specifically for the baggage tracking market. These requests, as well as the obvious growth potential, created a straightforward decision for RSI to allocate R&D, design, and testing resources to bring this design to market.’
