KEY POINTS:
American RFID chip maker SkyeTek has announced a lucrative deal with Kiwi-based Tracient Technologies.
SkyeTek's radio frequency identification computer chips - like those used in clothing stores to stop shoplifting - will now be readable by Tracient's own handheld RFID reader.
The Christchurch company will embed a SkyeTek module into the Pad1-R UF reader, which can be connected to any Bluetooth-enable device, including laptops and PDAs.
The move will significantly increase efficiency of RFID systems, especially in the apparel industry, SkyeTek said.
