Dresden, Germany and Trumbull, CT, USA, January 7, 2008 - KSW Microtec AG, one of the world's leading suppliers of RFID components, announces that Netc has developed an integrated, customized, RFID-enabled UHF Gen2x media barcode label based on KSW's inlay technology and the UCODE G2X ICs from NXP Semiconductors. The new Netc label can easily be interfaced with data security, data tracking and tape management systems. .

"The Netc label using KSW Microtec's customized antenna design and efficient assembly technology sets new standards in the market of HDD tape identification," says Thomas Hitzer, CEO of KSW Microtec. "User friendliness and durability are key for us. The new label is a real leading-edge product."

The 512-bit user memory of the NXP UCODE G2XM IC allows users to store more information on the IC than on any other Gen2 chip available on the market.

"We are pleased that Netc and KSW Microtec have selected our UCODE G2X silicon for their new media barcode labels, enabling reliable operation across very long read ranges as well as the largest user memory available on the market today," says Jan-Willem Reynaerts, general manager, market sector RFID, NXP Semiconductors.

Netc quality assures each NVISION RFID label before shipping to a customer.
