Zebra integrates with ThingMagic

Zebra Technologies and ThingMagic announced the integration of ThingMagic
M5e-Compact embedded RFID reader module into Zebra's RP4T mobile RFID printer.
Leveraging ThingMagic's RFID reader module performance and form factor, Zebra
RP4T printer is ideal for producing RFID tags and labels, and identifying and
tracking business-critical assets across a variety of markets, including
government, health care, manufacturing, mobile field service, and transportation
and logistics.

ThingMagic's M5e-Compact was specifically designed for mobile, portable and
handheld RFID applications that require economy of power and space. The
M5e-Compact is EPC Global Generation-2 DRM compliant, and is optimized for
Generation-2 RFID tags. Based on ThingMagic's Mercury5e embedded reader module,
the M5e-Compact consumes one-third of the power and is half the size of the
Mercury5e, enabling a variety of RFID applications for asset tracking, warehouse
and inventory management, location awareness, and other use-cases that require a
powerful, customizable, yet very small RFID reader solution.

Yael Maguire, Co-founder and CTO, ThingMagic said, "Zebra selected the
M5e-Compact to extend RFID capabilities to this innovative line of printers; the
combination allows users to leverage RFID where and when they need it, offering
a significant opportunity for improved workforce efficiency."
