DSN Retailing Today, Oct 25, 2004

READING, U.K. -- RFID equipment by Intermec Technologies has become the first RFID equipment to comply with the new approved European standard for RFID at UHF. The European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) is an independent, nonprofit organisation officially responsible for standardisation of information and communication technologies within Europe.

Intermec's IF4 and IF5 RFID readers are compliant to ETSI radio standards for operation in Europe, both under the lower power 0.5W erp (EN300 220) standard and the newly established 2.0W erp (EN302 208) RFID standard, which permits higher RF power.
