It is branded ‘Ucode X’ and delivered in wafer form. “With Ucode X, we’re expanding what’s possible in Rain RFID,” claimed NXP director of RFID, Ralf Kodritsch. “This chip combines our most advanced RF performance with flexible memory and configuration ...
AI is being paired with RFID technology across many industries and applications, observes Liam Critchley. Many industries need to track people or objects efficiently, autonomously and remotely, and that’s where radio frequency identification (RFID) comes in. It provides real-time tracking, which requires the accurate collection and sharing of data. AI is now being paired with RFID technology to help access ...
Insight SIP will offer three variants of its ISP2454-LX module, based on Nordic’s nRF54L15 core. All three variants are based on the same core nRF54L15 core radio and processor, and have the same integrated antenna offering class leading radio performance. All three variants are pin and footprint compatible, allowing manufacturers to easily build variant products with different characteristics. They are ...
