ntel on Monday introduced its first chip designed specifically for radio-frequency identification technology, indicating the world's largest chipmaker is serious about RFID. Intel's entrance as an RFID chipmaker also lends credibility to the fledgling technology.
The Intel R1000 is a chip for ultra-high frequency RFID readers, and manufacturers of those readers are expected to start making them available as early as next month.
Intel says it has integrated most of the components found in an RFID reader radio -- including those that handle reception, transmission, baseband, modulation and demodulation -- into an 8mm by 8mm chip. The result, says Intel, will be lower costs for RFID readers, which can cost $1,500 or more. I-Week has more.
