ICODE® is a standard for intelligent RFID solutions operating at 13.56MHz, supporting infrastructure compliant with ISO 18000-3 / ISO 15693 standards. ICODE® platform with billions of systems operating in thousands of successful installations around the world, is by far the largest functioning base in this field.
ICODE® is an open platform available to any company that wants to develop its product and service offer based on compatible solutions based on the ICODE® standard.
The ICODE® platform currently consists of 3 families:
- ICODE® SLIX with the latest addition ICODE® SLIX 2,
- ICODE® ILT,
- ICODE® DNA providing tag authentication based on AES encryption.
Main features of the ICODE® standard:
- Best-in-class RF performance,
- World-proven, reliable technology with extensive third-party support,
- A unique identifier for each integrated circuit,
- Original signature in selected family members,
- Re-programmable user memory up to 2528 bits and data retention up to 50 years,
- Optional password protection for EAS, AFI and user memory,
- Best price-performance ratio,
- Privacy functions,
- Tag authentication based on AES encryption and memory access (in ICODE® DNA standard),
- Compliance with world harmonized regulations.
