Alien Technology® manufactures a range of EPC Gen 2 inlays
designed to deliver optimal performance for a variety of applications
Powered by Alien’s break-through 800-bit Higgs™- 3 UHF RFID IC and
innovative antenna designs, our family of Gen 2 inlays deliver industry leading
sensitivity, performance and a rich set of features. Higgs-3 features include
the standard 32-bit manufacturers Tag Identifier (TID), as well as an
additional 64-bit Unique TID for authentication and serialization
applications, an extensible EPC memory bank (scalable between 16-480 bits),
a scalable user memory bank (64-512-bits) useful for distributed data
applications, and password protected read and write support capabilities to
prevent unauthorized viewing and modification of the tag’s data by
unintended users. Additionally, Higgs-3 ICs include Alien’s Dynamic
Authentication - a challenge/response validation algorithm to authenticate
Higgs-3 ICs for further user protection.
The Squiggle® is the most versatile member of Alien’s inlay family, delivering exceptional range, reliability and price
for a broad range of traditional and innovative new RFID applications. The newest addition to our inlay family is the
Squiglette, which delivers the same outstanding EPC Gen 2 performance and reliability as its bigger brother, the
Squiggle®, in a narrow design ideal for apparel applications!
Alien inlays are designed as World Tags, delivering global operation from 840 to 960 MHz. This enables the same inlay
to be used successfully at the diverse frequencies of the Americas, Europe, Asia, and Africa. Alien World Tags allow
companies to manufacture products on one continent and ship worldwide utilizing a single RFID inlay.
