RFID Update:- The 4 Watt issue has been resolved
As you may be aware, Australia has had some regulatory issues that have significantly hindered the adoption of UHF RFID applications in supply chain applications. In summary, Australian regulation for RFID readers is limited to 918 to 926MHz at a maximum power of 1 Watt EIRP. Supply chain and other applications need 4 Watt in order to get a usable read range (typically 3m under 4W and less than 1m under 1W). Over the last three years GS1 Australia in conjunction with the industry and the Australian Communications Authority (ACMA) have been working towards increasing the class licence to 4 Watts in the 920 - 926 MHz band. Comware are pleased to advise that the variation to the Radiocommunications Class licence to allow 4 Watt is now legal and is listed in the Commonwealth Federal Register. Please contact us for a copy of the open document. This is very significant, as this 4W issue has been the major cause for the lack of RFID UHF adoption in the supply chain.
