GuardRFID intros ultra low profile active RFID tag

Guard RFID Solutions Inc., RFID technology solution provider has announced the release of the lowest profile Active Tag available in the market, dubbed the "Active Label". Under 6mm in height (about 0.23"), the tag is about the thickness of three US nickels stacked together, allowing the tag to be unobtrusive and discrete when placed on any object, said a press release. It offers a battery life of up to 24 months, virtually eliminating significant maintenance costs associated with frequent tag battery replacement or charging. "One of the primary goals that GuardRFID has had is to offer the smallest tags possible, while not compromising on battery life, as size does matter in most applications of the tags," said Zahir Abji, GuardRFID's president and CEO.
