µ-chip IDs are generated upon inlet (µ-chip with extanal antenna) order. A unique number, without duplication, is written on the ROM of a chip during the manufacturing process. Consequently the µ-chip ID can not be altered.

The user can read µ-chip IDs by a special reader. The µ-chip automatically responds with its µ-chip ID when it detects a signal from the reader.

Currently the µ-chip does not have collision avoidance. In other words a reader cannot read more than a chip at a time. However, they can be lined up (by positioning the chips in a certain direction) and read successively within a short period of time.

Compared to 13.56 MHz which is used widely by other RFID systems, the wave length of 2.45 GHz is shorter and it enables the external antenna of the inlet to be smaller. This means that the µ-chip can be attached to very small items.
One of the other merits is that 2.45 GHz allow the µ-chip be attached onto surface of metal and dielectric which usually interfere radio frequency. In this case, the some appropriate packaging technique must be applied to the inlet.

The operational temperature of the inlet (µ-chip with external antenna) enclosed is between 0 and 40 degrees centigrade. It can be used/stored in an environment between -20 and 75 degrees centigrade with no condensation. Work is progress to improve heat-resistance of the inlet.

If the inlet (µ-chip with external antenna) is made by proper packaging technology, the clothing may be washable. However experiments must be conducted to determine the appropriate packaging technique.

Presence of water in the vicinity of the µ-chip may impede the reading process because it absorbs the radio waves at 2.45 GHz. Metallic substance may also obstruct the signal because of reflections but in many case this problem will be resolved by engineering.

The current model requires a 5V/4.5W power supply.

Wireless LAN (IEEE 801.11b) and Bluetooth devices use 2.45 GHz, the same radio frequency as the µ-chip. Usually conflicts will not occur because of the difference of the modulation method, communication protocols, etc. However conflicts may arise in circumstances where the µ-chip or the reader antenna is in contact with a Bluetooth antenna. Our engineers are available to help you prevent the interference in consulting and making systems specifications and design.

Each application is required to consider disposal precedure respectively according to its usage, volume, life cycle, etc. of µ-chip.
