RFID Technology Companies Team for Product Development

Technology startup SensThys has joined with wireless communication technology manufacturer Microelectronics Technology Inc. (MTI) to create a series of new products, under the SensThys brand, that incorporate hardware and engineering from both companies. The SensThys reader devices will include modules from MTI and will be manufactured at MTI's factories. The companies plan to release the first products during this year's RFID Journal LIVE! conference and exhibition, to be held on Apr. 2-4 at Arizona's Phoenix Convention Center. MTI and SensThys have declined to describe the products in specifics, but claim they will outperform existing RFID readers and antennas, and will include wireless and sensor technologies beyond UHF RFID.
