SNAGG TECHNICAL INFORMATION
The Snagg ® Microchip - an
RFID (radio frequency identification device) tag - is an passive radio device
that, when scanned, emits an alphanumeric code number unique to it alone. Snagg
microchips are functional between 25° fahrenheit and 125° fahrenheit, and are
not adversely affected by sealants or epoxies used to enclose them in the body
of musical instruments.
When scanned or
"activated", the embedded Snagg chip – buried inside the musical
instrument, amp, etc. - emits a code number unique to its asset.
Snagg chips are as small
or smaller than a grain of rice, require no power source, and have an estimated
shelf life of 80+ years.
Snagg chips are installed
in a way that prevent removal without ruining the instrument or greatly reducing
it's market value, a very significant disincentive for thieves.
