Impinj introduced three next-generation RAIN RFID reader chips that enable IoT device makers to meet the increasing demand for item connectivity in retail, supply chain and logistics, consumer electronics, and many other markets.

The new Impinj E710, E510, and E310 RAIN RFID reader chips are high-performance, low-power systems-on-chips that extend the item connectivity opportunity to hundreds of billions of things worldwide.

Michelin, a longstanding Impinj partner, plans to equip every new passenger car tire with RAIN RFID by 2023 and envisions RAIN RFID delivering advanced connectivity throughout the full tire manufacturing supply chain to improve tire management, performance, and safety.

"Michelin is convinced that the innovation, in terms of performance and affordability, in the new Impinj reader chips is a key achievement towards tire connectivity with RAIN RFID technology. Performant devices are a key factor of success to foster the tire market adoption," said Jérôme Barrand, RFID program leader at Michelin.

More than 20 Impinj OEM device partners worldwide, including CAEN RFID, Chainway, Convergence Systems Limited, Hopeland, JADAK, MTI, RoyalRay, and SILION TECH, are already developing dozens of products based on the new Impinj reader chips.

"The new, highly integrated RAIN RFID system-on-chip and development kits used across the Impinj E710, E510, and E310 reader chips allow us to reuse design effort across multiple development projects, significantly reducing our time to market," said Albert Yang, general manager at Chainway.
