EECC Study Expands Structure to Test IoT-based RFID Tags

Throughout the past decade, RFID tags and the applications for which they are used have been diversifying and growing more complex. In response to the expanding number of specialized UHF RFID tag products and the uses cases for them, the European EPC Competence Center (EECC) has released a four-part survey aimed at testing all facets of functionality for tags that can feature high or low memory, as well as sensor functionality; offer higher sensitivity of predecessor tags; and, in the case of one line of products, be recyclable. The result is a 650-page study containing more than 2,000 diagrams isolating a variety of conditions and performance for 451 different tags. EECC has offered its annual survey for more than a decade.
