Fujitsu develops easily attachable RFID

Fujitsu Labs announces its development of a new RFID, one that can be easily used on ID cards and wearable devices.

RFID tags are already usually compact and portable. However, they are not thin enough to be easily affixed on wearable objects, such as ID’s, metal objects, and wearable tech. Fujitsu labs solved this problem by using a looped structure of thin plastic, that allows stable transmission of radio waves from within 2 meters around the RFID’s wearer. The new RFID still remains completely functional whilst worn, having the flexibility to be instantly attached to just about anything.

Fujitsu Labs plans to implement the new RFID technology on a number of applications that involve item management, identification, and access control.
