Evigia Systems, a provider of integrated wireless and sensing products, announced EV3-HHI-PAB, a new active-passive mobile radio-frequency identification or "RFID" platform for asset tracking applications.

The new EV3-HHI-PAB RFID platform is based on the EV3 ISO18000-7 active RFID platform and Motorola's (News - Alert) MC9090g RFID Gen2 rugged handheld interrogator.

Evigia's new EV3-HHI-PAB active-passive mobile platform and solution set offer complete mobile shipment inventory tracking and identification, company officials said.

EV3-HHI-PAB, according to company officials, provides a very cost-effective yet powerful solution to enhance network management and increase operational efficiency.

The solution features integrated wireless passive RFID, barcode scanning and two-way wireless communication with high functionality ISO18000-7 DASH7 active RFID systems, they added.

"The introduction of Evigia's active-passive mobile platform is another indication of our commitment to lead the RFID industry with products that provide superior functionality and performance to government and commercial end-users," Navid Yazdi, Evigia's chief executive officer, said.

Yazdi further said that the new mobile platform provides the benefits of both DASH7 active RFID and EPC Gen 2 passive RFID technologies. The solution enables end-to-end item-level asset tracking, dramatically improving the visibility and functionality of supply networks.

Using this platform, information about the contents of shipping containers or pallets with either barcode or passive ID labels can be scanned, gathered and directly stored in an active RFID tag (News - Alert), company officials said.

With this new solution, end-users can add the performance, extended wireless range, reliability and sensing and security capabilities of ISO18000-7 active tags to passive RFID networks.

Evigia serves various industries such as Aerospace & Defense, Transportation and Logistics, Cold Chain, Chemical & Hazardous Material.
