Block Shield Announces Agreement with Ramtron International Corporation
Block Shield announced today an agreement between its Rfidium RFID group
and Ramtron International Corporation (Nasdaq: RMTR), a leading developer and
supplier of nonvolatile ferroelectric random access memory (F-RAM) and
integrated semiconductor products. The agreement is to collaboratively develop
and test prototype RFID antenna inlays utilizing Ramtron's new line of
high-memory, EPC Class1 Gen 2 RFID chips.
"We evaluated many suppliers of RFID antenna inlay design and production
services, and found Rfidium's proprietary manufacturing processes provide the
best combination of design prototyping to volume production," said Danny
Secrest, senior marketing manager at Ramtron International Corporation.
As part of the agreement, Rfidium will deliver near-field and far-field UHF
antenna designs to Ramtron's specifications, producing prototype samples in
aluminum with Ramtron chips, and performing inlay characterization and
qualification.
"Ramtron is a leader in the field of F-RAM, and we are pleased to work with them
as they define their offerings," said Edwin Oh, CEO. "We are looking forward to
a long-term relationship that will enable them to continue to meet the
ever-growing demand for rapid and reliable data collection."
Rfidium is a complete custom design, prototyping, and production RFID inlay
provider, enabling customers to go from ideas to production quantities of RFID
antennas more rapidly than competitive processes. Rfidium carries a variety of
stock RFID inlays using chips from Impinj suitable for many applications,
including tape cartridge, item-level, and pallet tracking. Stock inlays can be
custom-tuned to meet specific requirements.
