Tyco Electronics announced a strategic alliance with KeyTone Technologies aimed at providing comprehensive solutions to companies who need to meet the Department of Defense's (DoD) mandate on the use of radio frequency identification (RFID) for electronic product codes (ePC) on all products.


The expertise of Tyco Electronics in RFID labels, hi-memory tags, readers and antennas combined with the strength of KeyTone Technologies in enterprise-level RFID software enables companies dealing with the DoD to meet the RFID mandate efficiently and cost effectively.

“Now companies can eliminate the tedious and expensive integration that comes with working with multiple suppliers,” said Eric Freid, director global business development for RFID products at Tyco Electronics.

“The alliance between Tyco Electronics and KeyTone provides a world-class combination of hardware, software and support—all engineered to provide a scalable, low-risk RFID solution with a fast ROI in order to meet the DoD mandate.”
