The aerospace industry has been asking RFID technology vendors for high memory passive RFID tagging solutions since 2004. This was primarily to support the storage of maintenance history records on commercial aircraft parts and equipment.  Boeing and Airbus have had several initiatives underway over the years with lower memory tags but higher memory silicon have simply not been available...until now!

Tego, a small semi-conductor manufacturer based in Waltham, MA, announced they have been selected by Airbus to support their A350 High Memory RFID program.  This is a HUGE announcement that marks a turning point in the RFID industry.  I've known Tego CEO Tim Butler and his team for several years and know the effort required to develop their break-through high memory passive RFID technology.  This is also a significant event for the commercial airline industry as the availability of higher memory tags will support improved parts management applications and maintenance operations.

To the Tego team and all who supported this effort I say...

"Hat's Off Gentleman...Wonderful Job!"
