ClarinoxScan Middleware Incorporates UHF

Melbourne, Australia - October 23, 2006 …Clarinox Technologies Pty. Ltd., home of wireless and embedded systems solutions, expands the capability of its ClarinoxScan middleware to incorporate UHF and HF RFID frequencies. “This is a significant development,” states Gokhan Tanyeri, CTO of Clarinox Technologies, “as now we can readily cater for complex systems in which either UHF or HF frequencies are used, or even a mixture of both. Classes of devices can be set to incorporate data captured by either frequency”.

There are four main frequency bands for RFID tags commonly in use, categorized by their radio frequency:

• Low frequency tags (125 or 134.2 kHz); traditionally passive tag, for livestock and auto antitheft application.
• HF or High frequency tags (13.56 MHz); often associated with smart label applications.
• UHF tags (868 to 956 MHz) or 463 MHz, logistics applications for pallet, container, trailer, and product tracking.
• Microwave tags (2.45 GHz or 5.8 GHz); US and European toll standard respectively.

Each technology has its own characteristics making it more or less suitable for particular usage scenarios therefore the combination of two technologies allows for the strengths of each to be draw upon in the one solution. Clarinox Technologies also has a SDK for a Bluetooth enabled RFID reader.
