Omni-ID, a leading supplier of high-performance passive UHF RFID tags, today announced that the Omni-ID Ultra has been named one of ten finalists for the RFID Journal LIVE! Best in Show award. The award will be handed out at the prestigious RFID Journal Live! event to be held from April 14-16, 2010 in Orlando, Florida.
Omni-ID Selected as Finalist for RFID Journal Best in Show Award
- The Omni-ID Ultra is the world's first passive on-metal tag that can be read from a distance of more than 100 feet. Prior to this, active or semi-passive technologies were pre-requisites for this type of performance.
- In addition, the Ultra offers global functionality without any compromise in performance—an extremely important feature for applications being tracked internationally.
- The Ultra's heavy-duty encasement supplies a level of durability essential to customers that require reliable identification of assets, and its ultra-long read range targets applications traditionally considered to be the domain of active and semi-passive solutions.
- This combination of features makes the Ultra an ideal tag for tracking containers, vehicles and cargo commonly stored in outdoor environments.
- The Best in Show is one of four honors being awarded by RFID Journal at its 8th annual event. The Best in Show award is given to an RFID vendor for innovative technology, hardware or software offerings. The winners are chosen by an independent panel of judges selected by the editors of RFID Journal and will be announced during the show.
- Omni-ID will be exhibiting the Ultra tag at RFID Journal Live! from April 14-16, 2010 in booth #434.
