April 4, 2011

Impinj Inc., a radio frequency identification (RFID) technology provider, today announced the launch of two components for implementing item-level RFID across retail markets and supply chains.

Impinj's Monza 5 tag chip and STP source tagging platform will enable scaling of RFID retail inventory- management solutions.

Monza 5, mpinj's newest RFID tag chip, is designed for serializing items such as apparel, electronics, cosmetics, jewelry and pharmaceuticals. The STP source tagging platform is a UHF RFID reader system with hardware and software for high-speed commissioning during item-level tagging.

Using Impinj Monza-based tags, STP is capable of encoding up to 1,750 tags per minute. STP supports both inline and bulk encoding solutions.

"Building on Impinj's industry leadership in RFID technology, Monza 5 tag chips will become the industry standard for item-level tagging," said William Colleran, Impinj president and CEO. "We believe Monza 5 and STP bring to market exactly what retailers, suppliers and tag manufacturers need for item-level tagging to go mainstream."
