AVING reports: “Samsung Electronics announced the development of its new single-chip radio frequency identification(RFID) reader for mobile devices. Embedded RFID reader chips can provide consumers with product or service information retrieved from RFID tags incorporated in items such as movie posters, clothing, and museums or tourist exhibits.”

“Designed for a UHF range of 900MHz, Samsung’s new chip integrates an analog front end, a base-band modem, a processor, and a memory chip. The chip’s 6.5mm x 6.5mm small form factor and low power consumption level of 850mW are ideal for mobile applications.”
