RFID technology developer, ThingMagic, has partnered with barcode printing, labelling and EPC/RFID solution provider, SATO America. According to ThingMagic, partnerships are increasingly key to RFID success and widespread adoption, so offering Mercury4e embedded RFID readers as a SATO America Preferred RFID Partner is a first step toward an expanded relationship that will support a wide variety of RFID adopters around the world. SATO America has certified the ThingMagic Mercury4e for use in the United States with SATO America's CL408e/CL412e RFID tabletop printers and M8485Se RFID OEM Print Engine. SATO Corporation plans call for expansion into Europe and Asia Pacific as well. SATO RFID printers can read, write and print "smart" labels, with visual images, text or barcodes on the label surface, and read/write on the thin transponder embedded in the label. The ThingMagic Mercury4e is the embedded version of the ThingMagic Mecury4 reader, designed to provide high powered RFID capability to the SATO CL408e/CL412e and SATO M8485Se printers. The reader is credit card-sized, supporting two antennas, and can read any tag, including the new EPC Generation 2 as well as older protocols such as ISO 18000-6B, EPC Class 0, re-writeable EPC Class 0 and EPC Class 1.
