SMARTRAC Introduces TI Tag-it HF-I Plus PRELAM To The Market

SMARTRAC N.V., a leading manufacturer and supplier of RFID transponders, broadens its product portfolio with the new TI Tag-it HF-I Plus PRELAM. With the first orders already delivered, the new products are geared towards satisfying the growing demand for ISO plastic card PRELAM?products using Texas Instruments' Tag-IT HF-I Plus Chip.

Due to SMARTRAC's in-house chip packaging capabilities, the IC and the capacitor are seamlessly integrated into the card PRELAM ensuring the highest transponder performance. Card manufacturers benefit from a fully-fledged card PRELAM? that can be processed directly without any need for additional processes or changes to their current manufacturing processes.

SMARTRAC passive TI Tag-it? HF-I Plus PRELAM? products are manufactured using the company's proprietary patented wire-embedding technology and fulfill the highest requirements regarding reliability, durability and mechanical robustness and are designed for the particular requirements of card specifications.

With the new SMARTRAC TI Tag-it? HF-I Plus PRELAM? it is possible to easily produce ISO plastic cards which ideally fit into the TI system and are fully compatible to other TI-based components such as RFID labels. This allows end-users to use both RFID cards and labels within the same system.

SMARTRAC's TI Tag-it? HF-I Plus PRELAM? is manufactured entirely out of 100% PVC which differentiates it from other Tag-it? inlay products currently available to the market. Use of 100% PVC makes additional time-consuming steps obsolete compared to conventional Tag-it HF-I Plus Inlays which are made from PET and therefore need additional processing before the inlay is turned into a final ISO plastic card product.

Suited for applications such as access control systems in the hotel and catering industry, the standard ISO card-sized products are not only available in pure PVC but also in Polycarbonate and PET-G. SMARTRAC passive TI Tag-it? HF-I Plus PRELAM? products operate in the 13.56 MHz (HF) operating frequency and comply with the ISO /IEC 15693 and ISO/IEC 18000-3 global standards.
