WJ Communications, Inc., a leading designer and supplier of radio frequency (RF) products and solutions for the wireless infrastructure and radio frequency identification (RFID) reader markets, today unveiled its groundbreaking, industry's first true low cost and smallest form factor Gen2 UHF RFID modules, WJM3000, based on WJ's recently announced WJC200 reader chipset.
By leveraging the WJC200 chipset, WJ is in a unique position to shatter reader price barriers and accelerate large-scale RFID deployment by designing and manufacturing industry's lowest cost and smallest form factor RFID modules. The WJM3000, approximately the size of a compact flash card, uses up to 60% fewer discreet components, compared to modules available in the market today, while packing enough horsepower to exceed industry benchmarks for modules with fast inventory time and longer read and write range with worldwide Gen2 tags.
The WJM3000 embodies best in class performance for its size and price target while exceeding industry module benchmarks by supporting 1-watt (+30dBm) RF output power, Dense Reader Mode (DRM) capability, fast data rate of 240 KHz and power management smarts, making it ideal for integration into forklift readers, handheld readers, portal readers, printers, point of sale (POS), and other mobile devices.
"Building upon our core competency and track record of product innovations, we are introducing the next generation WJM modules to offer our customers RFID functionality in every mobile device," said Morteza Saidi, Vice President of Engineering at WJ Communications. "WJ is on a path to revolutionize the RFID industry and further establish its leadership position by offering industry's first Gen2 reader chipset. More modules based on WJ's reader chipset will be introduced in 2007, setting the industry's benchmark for size, cost, and performance to maximize ROI for customers" - WJ Communications.
