- Omni-ID, the leading supplier of high-performance passive UHF RFID tags, today announces a strategic collaboration with ODIN Technologies, the leader in packaged RFID solutions for healthcare, aerospace, financial services and government agencies, to provide IT asset tracking solutions to the U.S. Department of State. The companies' RFID technology collaboration has seen customer success with a 10,000 unit order from the U.S. Department of State to tag mission-critical IT assets.
- The Omni-ID and ODIN packaged RFID solution for the U.S. Department of State is comprised of the Omni-ID Flex™ tag for a tracking method that is secure, easy to deploy and achieves ROI more quickly than the use of bar codes or disparate RFID products. The Omni-ID Flex provides high-performance RFID tag identification in metallic or non-metallic environments with a low profile and a read range of more than 16 feet.
- After an extensive search and testing process on a number of RFID options, the U.S. Department of State selected the Omni-ID/ODIN offering based on the companies' wide-ranging combined experience and the completeness of their passive UHF solution.
- In addition, Omni-ID and ODIN are collaborating to provide RFID solutions to customers in the aerospace and defense, government, healthcare, oil and gas and IT data center markets. Omni-ID and ODIN are also working together on new industry solutions for maximizing the recently introduced suite of Omni-ID tags, which are specifically targeted to the manufacturing and transportation/logistics industries and include a passive RFID tag that reaches never-before-seen readability up to and beyond 100 feet.

Sweeney II, Founder, ODIN Technologies.
