ABI Research: UPM Raflatac and Alien Technology Top New Passive RFID Label Inlay Vendor Matrix Rankings

(Wireless News Via Thomson Dialog NewsEdge)
UPM Raflatac and Alien Technology have been ranked at the top of the
latest Vendor Matrices released by ABI Research.

The Vendor Matrix is an analytical tool developed by ABI Research to
provide a clear understanding of vendors' positions in specific
markets. Two new Vendor Matrices have just been released: they assess
RFID inlay manufacturers that offer passive 13.56 MHz (HF) and UHF
inlays.

UPM Raflatac scored highest in the RFID Passive HF Inlay Vendor Matrix,
while Alien Technology scored the highest in the RFID Passive UHF Inlay
Vendor Matrix.

Tagsys and Texas Instruments claimed the second and third spots in the
HF matrix, while Avery Dennison and UPM Raflatac occupy the same
positions in the UHF matrix rankings.

Vendors are assessed by ABI Research on the important parameters of
"innovation" and "implementation" across several criteria, unique to
each vendor matrix.

"The top-ranking vendors are truly leading global players, scoring
highly in each criterion for innovation and implementation," research
director Michael Liard said. "However, scoring was especially close
among the top UHF inlay providers, with Alien, Avery, and UPM Raflatac
locked in a tight 3-way race. The number of market participants,
coupled with relatively close proximity of their scores, demonstrates
the fragmented yet highly competitive nature of the passive RFID inlay
space."
