RFID Journal Live 2011: A huge success for Laird Technologies and Arcadian Inc.

This years RFID Journal Live trade show brought out more exhibitors, more vendors and more potential clients than ever before.  As always, the traffic at the show was "heavy" and more importantly, everyone i met was passionate about RFID, and excited about the industries growth.

The RFID Journal Live show is the best event we attend all year because the participants are so specific to the RFID technology.  Make no mistake, this is no "general interest" show...these folks are all about RFID.

As for Laird Technologies and Arcadian Inc. we had major traffic at our show booth - all people who were interested in our portfolio of panel antennas for UHF RFID readers.  We got lots of questions about active vs. passive RFID tags, and Gen 1 vs Gen 2 readers, and we explained over and over that the RFID antenna is a "passive" device.  The only thing that the antenna cares about is the radio frequency (RF) that is being put out by the RFID reader.  If that frequency is 902-928 mhz (US RFID) or 865-868 mhz (EU RFID) then we have an antenna that will work for you.

The most popular UHF RFID antenna models viewed at the show were:

#:  The Laird Technologies (formerly Cushcraft) series of 10x10 inch panel antennas for 902 to 928 mhz RFID.  These antennas are equivalent to the panel antennas sold by Impinj, Motorola, Alien Tech, Thing Magic and Intermec.  Specifically, model #'s: S9028PCL / S9028PCR (4 mouting studs) and S9028PCLJ / S9028PCRJ (2 mounting studs)
