Magellan's
PJM Protocol combines very high communication data rates with Frequency
and Time Division Multiple Access (FTDMA) anticollision capabilities.
The protocol and command set allows to identify, read and write to a
large quantity of tags continuously as they enter and leave the reader
field at high speeds.
Thus the PJM protocol is
the only existing RFID protocol capable of full dynamic processing of
RFID tagged items. Other protocols need to identify all tags before
they can read or write to individual tags which is especially unstable
in dynamically changing tag populations. Only PJM can efficiently use
on-chip tag memory in reading and writing without losing necessary
performance.
PJM offers tremendous margins in its anticollision speeds,
anticollision capability and data rates to realize 6-Sigma
implementations without reducing conveyor belt speeds.
Furthermore only PJM offers a stackable RFID tag (PJM StackTag™) which
can be stacked with zero separation, even in hundreds.
