The Dot XXS is the world’s smallest RFID tag. The round tag measures at 0.16 inches in diameter by 0.1 inches thick with a read distance of 1.6 feet (0.5 m). This passive UHF Class 1 Gen 2 tag opened the door for even smaller tags to be RFID enabled. The XXS tag series is FDA compliant and is available in an autoclavable version.
