SkyeTek Enables Wearable RFID Tag Encoder; SkyeTek Partners with ADASA to Speed Availability of World's First Wearable Gen2 Tag Encoder.DALLAS -- The world's first battery powered wearable Gen2 RFID tag An electronic identification device that is made up of a chip and antenna. For reusable applications, it is typically embedded in a plastic housing, and for tracking shipments, it is usually part of a "smart" packaging label. encoder, the ADASA PAD3500, a 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. mandate compliance solution from ADASA Inc., will use encoding modules, software, and hardware reference designs from SkyeTek, Inc. The announcement made jointly today by ADASA in booth #432 and SkyeTek in booth #313 on the floor of the RFID World tradeshow in Dallas, will help CPG CPG central pattern generators. end user customers meet RFID mandates and seamlessly integrates with existing workflows and legacy barcode systems. "The ADASA PAD3500 utilizes our patent pending ADASA SmartCartridge(TM) system combined with the SkyeTek module to provide CPG customers with a wearable RFID tag encoder that transparently integrates RFID tagging into their existing businesses practices," said Clarke McAllister, President of ADASA Inc. "We selected SkyeTek's encoding modules, software, and reference designs after much research because they were uniquely suited to meet our requirements for form factor, ease of integration, time-to-market as well as multi-protocol capability." ADASA will begin Beta testing (programming) beta testing - Testing a pre-release (potentially unreliable) version of a piece of software by making it available to selected users. This term derives from early 1960s terminology for product cycle checkpoints, first used at IBM but later standard throughout the the PAD3500 on March 1, 2006, with CPG customers and will begin volume shipments later in the year. The ADASA PAD3500 integrates the SkyeTek M8 module into a belt-worn device that offers battery-powered wireless connectivity into the enterprise IT system. The wearable device draws information from centralized data stores and uses it to program Gen2 tags with EPC-compliant information.

"The challenge for ADASA was to rapidly design-in a compact and low-power RFID tag encoder module that worked across a variety of protocols and different form factors and then wrapping it into a single wearable solution that suits the needs of their CPG customers," said Rob Balgley, CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization.
