Confidex SteelBYTE is designed for high memory IT asset tracking applications by equipping it with Alien Higgs3 IC. In addition to 96 bit EPC, the SteelBYTE has 512 bits user memory and a unique tag identifier number. The SteelBYTE also features extended read range. With a footprint of only 0.5 x 1.5 inches, the maximum read range reaches an outstanding 13 ft. on metal although it is also capable of functioning on plastic surfaces. Such improved tag performance is realized by the tag’s ability to be read with lower output power from the reader than was possible before.

Like Confidex SteelBIT, SteelBYTE design is based of FSTC (Financial Services Technical Consortium) RFID tagging requirements. SteelBYTE accompanies pre-encoded EPC code in its memory and a data label showing the EPC code in both numbers and in 2D data matrix. SteelBYTE has been designed especially for the RFID IT asset management market in the USA, so it is available in FCC (902-928MHz) version.
