SAMSys Implements EM 4223 Tag Protocol
SAMSys adds new high speed, faster throughput UHF RFID tag protocol to
its multi-protocol UHF Readers
TORONTO, Dec. 1 /CNW/ - SAMSys Technologies Inc. (SMY: TSX), an
international provider of Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) hardware
solutions and consulting services, announced today that it has implemented the
EM Microelectronic EM 4223 UHF tag protocol alongside the existing array of
UHF protocols supported by its reader products. The SAMSys MP9320 V2.7 reader
also supports the EM 4222 protocol in its four port multi-protocol, multi-
regional UHF reader for RFID rollouts in the supply chain environment.
The EM4223 UHF chip is a 128 bit programmable ISO 18000-6A chip which
implements the mandatory 18000-6A command set as well as the highly efficient
Supertag(TM) arbitration protocol. The EM4223 chip responds to ISO commands
according to the ISO standard, but when presented to the SAMSys reader it
automatically responds in the Fast Supertag(TM) mode which provides a three
times throughput improvement in tag reading rate compared with the ISO mode.
When operating in the European ETSI regulatory environment, the SAMSys reader
is able to read these EM4223 tags in excess of 200 tags per second. SAMSys has
integrated this protocol into the latest multi-protocol reader firmware of its
two multi-protocol UHF readers, the MP9320 V2.7 multi-port reader for portal,
conveyor and forklift applications and the MP9310 OEM Encoder/Reader Module
for integration into barcode label printers and automated label applicators.
"We believe that the availability of this device represents an important
milestone in the worldwide market for passive UHF chip and tag products, as it
is the first to be compliant with the ISO 18000-6A standard. Equally, it
represents a significant milestone for this Company, as our reader products
become the first capable of supporting both subsets of the standard; given our
proven ability to support the ISO 18000-6B protocol -- and this is a pre-
requisite for the reader to be qualified for full ISO standards compliance",
said Cliff Horwitz, Chairman & CEO of SAMSys Technologies Inc. "We have little
doubt that this chip will gain fast support and demand in the marketplace, and
we look forward to servicing the associated demand for reader products capable
of completing the system requirements."
