Multisensor RFID tags read 10 meters out

Employing multiple sensors in a single tag, the PCT100 and PCT200 passive RFID tags from Powercast provide a read range of 10 meters (32 feet), along with an RF operating range of -17 dBm to +20 dBm. According to the manufacturer, the tags have more than 10 times the operational power of standard passive RFID tags. The PCT100 enables battery-free wireless sensing and reads data within seconds. The PCT200 adds a battery with the ability to recharge using any standard RFID reader’s field.
