Tageos Unveils EOS-915 I3, the Market’s First NFC and HF Inlay based on NXP’s ICODE 3

Montpellier, France, October 23, 2024 – At WIoT tomorrow 2024 in Wiesbaden, Germany, one of Europe's leading events for wireless IoT and RFID technology, Tageos today launched its new EOS-915 I3 NFC and HF inlay, suitable for a wide range of multi-purpose applications including customer experience, item-level tagging, product authentication, supply-chain visibility and smart packaging.

As the first inlay to be launched in the market with NXP® Semiconductors’ ICODE® 3 ICs, the new EOS-915 I3 has a tiny footprint (antenna size 13 x 13 mm) while offering higher performance and reading speed, maintaining full compatibility with both NFC-enabled phones with near-field data exchange of a few centimeters and long-range HF readers (vicinity) for reading distances of up to 1.5 meters. This makes the new product a versatile choice for retail (non-food), logistics, healthcare and industrial manufacturing to increase operational efficiency and improve NFC customer interaction.

The new EOS-915 I3 uses NXP’s new high-performance ICODE 3 HF chip with an internal tuning capacitance of 23pF. The IC features a customizable digital originality signature to ensure tag origin and offers enhanced privacy modes. It operates at 13.56 MHz from long-range HF readers and NFC-enabled phones for cross-range operations and is compliant with ISO/IEC 15693 (vicinity) and NFC Forum Type 5 tag protocols. ICODE 3 also offers a fast read rate of up to 212 kbps, a large user memory of 2400 bits and advanced NFC features for Android and iOS.

EOS-915 I3 is available in dry, wet and paper-face delivery formats. For product samples, more information and delivery times, please contact our sales team.
