Impinj, once the only Gen2 RFID chip manufacturer, now has increased competition. However, having been the company that helped draft Gen2 standards, they are way ahead of the new Gen2 manufacturers such as STMicroelectronics, Texas Instruments and Philips.

Now Impinj has stepped even further ahead with new RFID Gen2 chips, Monza/ID and Monaco/64, that have better data storage features, including user-programmable memory.
