Cross Point Ostra & Shell D40

The Cross Point Ostra & Shell D40 (OSTRA D40 and SHELL D40) are premium 8.2 MHz RF hard tags designed for retail electronic article surveillance (EAS) systems. These tags provide effective theft deterrence, durable construction, and compatibility with most RF systems. They feature secure locking mechanisms and optimized detection profiles for both mono and dual-antenna setups. While similar in form factor and frequency, they differ slightly in internal design and shell construction.
