  • Jan 10, 2008

Zebra Technologies recently announced the launch of its Zebra R3i and R4i UHF RFID card printer/encoders, a new RFID product series designed to save time and costs, while heightening security in a host of auto-identification, access control and asset tracking applications. The company is also offering Zebra-designed supplies -- rugged, flexible UHF RFID-enabled plastic cards for single-sided or dual-sided card printing.

"We are pleased to once again be the first in the industry to develop an innovative solution that delivers business value and meets our customers' auto-identification and tracking needs," said Steve Park, Zebra vice president and general manager for RFID. "Designed and engineered jointly by our RFID and card printing business units, the new card printer/encoders offer the longer read ranges and unique identification capabilities of RFID technology that will allow enterprises to add higher levels of security and authentication to their new or existing RFID infrastructures."

epcSolutions Inc. was one of the Zebra partners engaged in testing of the new Zebra R3i and R4i RFID printer/encoders.

"Zebra, in being first-to-market with an RFID card printer/encoder, is the only hardware vendor with a complete suite of products for the 'Internet of Things' where RFID tags can be created for tracking virtually any asset in an organization,” said Kevin Kail, president and CEO of epcSolutions. “This is a transformational product because of its excellent performance, deep functionality and clean, easy-to-use design.”
