The Benefits of Impinj RFID

Impinj innovations yield performance breakthroughs

There is Gen 2, and then there is Impinj Gen 2. The difference? Performance. Impinj® is the de facto UHF Gen 2 RFID performance and market leader for a host of reasons:

• Impinj systems engineering expertise was honed in mission-critical satellite communications systems
• Impinj contributed significantly to the development of the Gen 2 standard and proved its technological elements
• Impinj was the first to market with Gen 2 tag chip products
• Impinj was the first to earn interoperability certification for both tag and reader products
• Impinj products exhibit excellent sensitivity and interference rejection—both critical to read reliability
• Impinj demonstrates outstanding worldwide performance using the same tag chip and antenna
• Impinj pioneered the use of UHF Gen 2 for item-level tagging, now the obvious choice of major pharmaceuticals companies that require absolute accuracy and high throughput

No other RFID company can claim these performance leadership achievements or capabilities. And as RFID systems become more widely deployed, it will be increasingly apparent that the ability to deliver standards-compliant products is only half the story. It is true that in order for tags and readers to be EPCglobal-certified, they must meet all mandatory features of the Gen 2 standard. As such, mere compliance is no longer a differentiating quality. Therefore, users must apply other metrics to separate the wheat from the chaff—performance metrics. To that end, the performance of Impinj RFID products has been proven time and time again in a great many benchmarks, pilots, and deployments. In addition, Impinj has established new industry benchmarks for quality, reliability, and delivery.
