Why is EcoTag(®) an important development for RFID systems?
The EcoTag(®) version of Trolleyponder is over 250 times more sensitive than earlier technologies and competitive products operating in the 860Mhz to 930 MHz bands. This is particularly relevant for companies that wish to operate passive transponders in Europe or who wish to mark goods used for international trade that are also to be identified in Europe, as EcoTag is almost the only system that has sufficient reading ranges with the European restrictions to be practical. Europe allows only 1.6% of the reader power allowed on the US which drastically limits the operating range of non-EcoTag type transponders. The EcoTag technology has minimal cost implications in adding the extra sensitivity.
