HID Global, trusted leader in solutions for the delivery of secure identity, recently announced the addition of two Glass Tag Ultra radio frequency identification (RFID) transponders to its expanding Animal ID Glass Tag family. The new, innovative HID Global design featured in the Glass Tag Ultra transponders uses patented direct bonding technology and optimised chip placement to achieve a breakthrough boost of performance. Read ranges are improved by up to 35% compared to low frequency glass tags of the same size. The company’s fully automated manufacturing process ensures consistent delivery of these high quality transponders in large volumes.

HID Glass Tag Ultra tubes range from 0.35 inches (9 millimeters) to 0.5 inches (12.5 millimeters) long with 0.08 in (2.12 mm) diameter, enabling subcutaneous tag placement on animals of any size and special industrial applications that require high read ranges. The new tag family also offers the necessary performance to enable specialised use cases like fish identification at a competitive price.
