AUTOPILOT TECHNOLOGY MAKES SUPERIOR PERFORMANCE EASY
Available now, the Speedway® Revolution reader, Impinj's next-generation reader, provides outstanding performance and ease of use. The reader's Autopilot technology continuously and automatically optimizes the reader for its operating environment to deliver peak performance at all times. Because RFID system performance depends upon a multitude of ever-changing environmental conditions (including RF interference levels, tag density in the reader field, and ambient RF noise) users often configure readers for worst-case scenarios, compromising optimum performance in the process. Autopilot delivers peak performance, while eliminating the need for manual tuning by integrating several innovative features, including: - Autoset, which continuously optimizes the reader's configuration for the best, most reliable performance. Speedway Revolution readers sense levels of RF noise and interference, automatically selecting the appropriate settings.
- Low duty cycle, which reduces RF interference, power consumption, and energy costs. Speedway Revolution readers only transmit when tags are in the field of view, eliminating unnecessary RF noise.
- Dynamic antenna switching, which improves throughput and efficiency. Speedway Revolution readers sense where tags are in the field and automatically focus more time on antennas with the largest tag populations in view. For example, if a low-height pallet follows taller pallets through a portal, a Speedway Revolution reader will reduce wasteful time spent on antennas in the upper positions.

INDY® R2000 READER CHIP
The Indy R2000 reader chip advances the highly successful Indy R1000 reader chip design to address more challenging RFID applications. Indy R2000 includes carrier cancellation technology to enhance read accuracy and range, improved transmit phase noise to ease support for global regulatory requirements, increased protocol configurability and access to advanced radio features. Motorola chose the R2000 for the design of their FX7400 fixed reader.
“When it came to selecting a reader chip for our new fixed reader, the FX7400, Indy R2000 was the obvious choice. The R2000 had the high-performance, low power consumption, and design support tools that we needed. Impinj produced a world-class reader chip and their support has been fantastic.”

PACKAGED MONZA™ 3 TAG CHIPS
Impinj recently announced the availability of Monza™ 3 tag chips in a packaged format. Packaged Monza 3 are fully supported by standard PCB surface-mount assembly techniques, enabling easy integration into products designed with printed circuit boards (PCBs), as well as other electronic applications where solderable connections are preferred. By using a μDFN package, Impinj has created the industry’s smallest and lowest profile tag chip part, and extends the advantages of Monza 3 to PCB applications and ruggedized tag designs. RFID solution provider Mighty Card selected the packaged Monza 3 chip to drive its most critical asset tagging application.
“We partnered with Impinj for one of our most important projects, the pallet rental application for Japan Pallet Rental Corporation. Impinj’s tag chip performance and innovative antenna design exceeded our expectations. We put the tags through extraordinarily rigorous testing—beyond our actual needs—and they survived. From delivery to performance, Impinj was excellent.”

RFID PACKAGE VALIDATION SOLUTION
TECHNOLOGY PARTNERS DELIVER SHIPPING ACCURACY
The package validation solution unveiled by Impinj, UPM Raflatac, and Zebra Technologies at RFID Journal Live has generated remarkable interest. The three companies teamed together to design an item-level RFID solution that enables companies to drive revenue, reduce costs and decrease shrinkage associated with challenging business processes. The package validation solution also allows business users to validate and monitor the contents of packages before and after they are sealed. The solution uses UPM Raflatac tags based on Impinj Monza 3 tag chips, Impinj Speedway readers and reader antennas, and Zebra’s UHF Gen 2 RZ400 printer/encoder.
