Socionext, ZiFiSense, a founder of LPWA (Low Power Wide Area Network) standard ZETA, and Techsor have jointly started the development of SoCs for ZETag, a next generation, low cost, low power consumption IC tag.
Most of the IC tags currently in use are passive tags, which do not have a power supply. However, existing active tags cost around several tens of dollars, and transmission distance is less than 100 meters.
In comparison, the ZETag transmission can reach several kilometers, its cost will be reduced to the extent that the tags can be used as disposable.
