MSSI's micro inventory tag, measuring only 39 mm × 11 mm × 21 mm (1.5 in. × 0.4 in. × 0.8 in.) complete with antenna and battery, now achieves an operational life expectancy of greater than 10 years transmitting once every two seconds. Using a tiny button cell battery, 3.2-mm × 16-mm CR1632 rated at 125 mAh, MSSI's tag life expectancy actually equals or exceeds the manufacturer's specification for battery shelf life at room temperature, or 10 years.
