IEEE RFID 2026 Active BLE Badge

Minew MTB11 ambient-light-harvesting BLE conference tag

IEEE RFID 2026's official conference page advertised a complimentary twentieth-anniversary Bluetooth Low Energy badge, with 100 badges available. Its dedicated badge page identifies the active artifact as a custom-printed Minew MTB11 ambient-light-harvesting BLE tag. The source says that, when sufficiently charged from ambient light, it transmits a unique 48-bit identifier, battery voltage, and temperature in Bluetooth Low Energy advertisement packets. The technical-programme chairs' welcome confirms the June 16-18 Santa Fe conference occurred, but the sources do not establish individual receipt or final device state.

IEEE RFID 2026 Passive RAIN RFID Badge

Custom-printed passive UHF/QR conference tag

IEEE RFID 2026's dedicated badge page identifies a second conference artifact: a custom-printed passive RAIN RFID/UHF tag that can also be optically associated with its conference identifier through a QR code. The page says each tag uses a unique 96-bit, sequential conference/demo identifier rather than a GS1-compliant retail EPC, and that the identifier contains no personal attendee information. The technical-programme chairs' welcome confirms the June 16-18 Santa Fe event, while the published sources do not establish recipient assignment, completed handoff, physical tag construction, or detailed QR behavior.
