FCC grants license to ODIN Technologies
ODIN Technologies has been granted an experimental license by the FCC. The license will allow ODIN Technologies to test RFID devices that work on frequencies allowed in other countries but prohibited in America. The frequency ranges are 902-928 MHz, 865.6-867.6 MHz, 950-956 MHz, 865-867 MHz, and 866-869 MHz for the U.S, Europe, Japan, India, and Singapore, respectively.
ODIN has been allowed by the FCC to work with equipment that uses frequencies in the range of 866-956 MHz at 8 watts of power. The company claims that acquiring the license will enable it to offer better service to its clients from outside America and that also stands to gain an edge over its competition. Although RFID systems do not work at 8 watts in any country, the high power-use margin will provide ODIN with the opportunity to understand the working of these devices in a better manner. rfidjournal.com reports:
ODIN is not the only U.S. company to receive experimental licenses. U.S. manufacturers of RFID equipment designed to operate in Europe or Asia also obtain them to test their equipment outside the 902 MHz to 928 MHz range.
