MESA, Ariz., Feb. 28 /PRNewswire/ -- Expanding the global availability and Real-Time Location Systems (RTLS) applications for its active tags, RF Code, Inc., a leading developer of RFID asset tracking solutions, today announced it is extending its Mantis II product line with the addition of its 433 MHz Mantis Asset Tag and 433 MHz Mantis Reader.

The 433 MHz frequency is widely allocated for use throughout the world, allowing RF Code's new asset tags and readers to be used in a broader number of countries. Enhanced signaling capabilities substantially improve the ability of Mantis to be used in Real-Time Location Systems (RTLS) applications. The Mantis 433 MHz line now offers the lowest cost active tag at prices far below comparable systems, as well as the only 10+ year tag battery life for 433 MHz RFID products in the market. In addition to these features, RF Code's 433 MHz product line combines industry leading anti- collision performance in a small form factor. Incorporating worldwide availability with enhanced RTLS capabilities, RF Code's new line is accelerating international container tracking, supply chain and healthcare asset tracking markets for the company's solutions.

"We're introducing the first cost-effective 433 MHz active tag and reader solution with a host of features to drive market adoption for both RTLS and international supply chain applications," said Joe Dugan, president and chief executive officer for RF Code, Inc.

"The low-cost, long battery life and new functionality of RF Code's 433 MHz tags and readers are a winning combination for our RTLS customers," said John Hawkins, chief executive officer at JDS Professional Services Inc.

RF Code's 433 MHz Mantis Asset Tag and 433 MHz Mantis Reader incorporate all of the benefits of the company's Mantis line, including a small modular design, rapid tag processing and high throughput, simultaneous tag identification, and optional antenna configurations for application-specific coverage. The new line is also supported by RF Code's award-winning TAVIS data management platform.
