Originally developed to meet the requirements of the aviation industry, the new transponder meets the regulatory requirements for operation in both the EU and the US/ASIA frequency bands (865-868MHz and 902-928MHz, respectively), and is therefore qualified for global use.

The new transponder is suitable for on-site applications in maintenance, repair and industrial operations. It also meets the demand for RFID transponders that are capable of recording and storing extra information: for example, the documentation of the maintenance history of a safety-critical object.

The new unit measures only 41 × 11 × 5.15mm, incorporates a user memory of up to 3kbit capacity, and has a range of up to 5m when mounted on metal. It is EPC Class 1 Gen 2 compatible, and has an operating temperature range of -50°C to +160°C.
