Essen RFID, an RFID hardware provider based in India, has announced a partnership agreement with Bartronics Ltd., one of India’s largest RFID solutions providers. As part of the partnership arrangement, Bartonics will add several of Essen’s RFID devices to its catalog of product offerings.

With the new agreement, Essen’s UHF integrated antenna, called the XtennaPlus, will become part of Batronics’ roster of RFID devices used in the research and development of new solutions. The Hyderabad-based Batronics will also make the XtennaPlus regularly available to its customer base.
