Early last month, Mikoh Corp., an Australian provider of tamper-proof seals and other security solutions, announced plans to introduce tamper-proof RFID inlays to the marketplace, which would be branded Smart&Secure Retail Tags (see New Tag Aims to Protect Consumer Privacy). Mikoh has also revealed its first contract manufacturer that will help the company bring the tags to market. The security solutions provider is teaming up with Twinlinx, a French chip maker, to manufacture 13.56 MHz chips compliant with the ISO 15693 and 14443 air-interface standards. It will use these chips to create 13.56 MHz Smart&Secure Retail Tags. MIKOH expects to receive the first 13.56 MHz chip samples in Q3 2007, with production quantities available by the end of the year.
