Logistics Insight Asia - Technology & Market Trends, 6/3/2008

Fujitsu Limited has developed what’s said to be the world's first 64 kilobyte (KB) ultra-high frequency (UHF)-band radio frequency identification (RFID) tag with high-capacity FRAM. Featuring memory capacity sufficient to store large volumes of aircraft part and maintenance history data, while supporting a number of different radio frequencies to enable traceability worldwide, Fujitsu anticipates that this 64KB UHF-RFID tag will transform global aircraft maintenance operations.

Equipped with 64KB FRAM memory, the world's highest capacity to date, Fujitsu's RFID tag will enable highly efficient global aircraft maintenance operations by ensuring precise and rapid management of each aircraft part. The tag complies with the EPCglobal Class 1 Generation 2 standard supporting a variety of radio frequencies, which vary by region, and thus provides for global traceability.

Fujitsu's new UHF-RFID tags will deliver high-speed data writing capability and high durability, while also offering state-of-the-art security functions, such as password management for each part of the memory area.
