Intune, which manufactures RFID antenna, came a long way from Finland to exhibit and make connections as the Smart Labels USA show in Boston.

I got a chance to snap a photograph of the company President, Matti Karjanlahti, and also his VP of Sales and Marketing, Erik Bjorkenheim.

They showed me their latest new technique for RFID antenna, using etched aluminum. It is thinner than copper and less expensive too -- by about one third. It is also thinner and less expensive than silver sometimes used to make antenna.

The second photo to left shows the new antenna. I shot the picture against a notebook background, just so that the antenna would show up.
