Benefits
Validated to 50 microwave cycles at 1800W for 3.5 minutes each, the eWave U9 keeps its RFID function and encoded data intact through repeated heating cycles. Food service operators and healthcare facilities can track items without removing tags before microwaving.
Dry and wet inlay formats ship at 20,000 pcs per reel with 4 reels per box, delivering 80,000 tested tags per carton. That reel density reduces handling interruptions and changeover time on high-speed labelling and converting lines.
With a frequency range of 860–960 MHz covering both ETSI (865–868 MHz) and FCC (902–928 MHz) bands, the eWave U9 operates across North American and European markets from a single SKU, simplifying procurement and inventory for global supply chains.
