Retalix and TAGSYS to Display RFID System Based on the ePC Specifications for the Retail World; Demonstration on the First Low-Cost 13.56MHZ RFID System.Business Editors MARKETECHNICS Technology Show DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 21, 2003 Retalix USA., (Nasdaq:RTLX), today announced that TAGSYS will demonstrate the first low-cost 13.56MHz (MegaHertZ) One million cycles per second. It is used to measure the transmission speed of electronic devices, including channels, buses and the computer's internal clock. A one-megahertz clock (1 MHz) means some number of bits (16, 32, 64, etc. RFID (Radio Frequency IDentification) A data collection technology that uses electronic tags for storing data. The tag, also known as an "electronic label," "transponder" or "code plate," is made up of an RFID chip attached to an antenna. system based on the ePC(TM) (electronic product code) specifications from the MIT MIT - Massachusetts Institute of Technology Auto-ID Center, in the Retalix booth at Food Marketing Institute's MARKETECHNICS Technology Show, taking place in Dallas, TX on February 23-25, 2003.

Also called an "RFID interrogator." The maximum distance between the reader's antenna and the tag vary, depending on application. and antenna, and 13.56 MHz RFID tags (embedded with Phillips' ePC(TM) integrated circuits Integrated circuits Miniature electronic circuits produced within and upon a single semiconductor crystal, usually silicon. Integrated circuits range in complexity from simple logic circuits and amplifiers, about 1/20 in. (1. ICs). Using shampoo bottles with RFID tags, a 100 percent read rate is shown, operating at a speed of 150 item reads per second.
