Over the last two years there has been a great deal of innovation in the passive UHF tag segment of the RFID market, with continued innovation in passive UHF ICs, inlays, and finished specialty tags (also known as hard tags). The industry has also witnessed the rapid expansion of passive UHF solutions in non-compliance supply chain tagging environments such as asset management, border crossing/control, item-level tagging and beyond. And, perhaps most importantly, while price once reigned supreme, it is now passive UHF tag performance (read range, read rate, durability, etc.) that matters most to end users as we enter 2010 and a new decade for RFID.
