Lessons Learned from RFID Field Test

Posted by Hemos on from the testing-it-out-in-the-real-world dept.

muddy_mudskipper writes "From John Young's cryptome.org website, is a newly posted pdf copy of the "Lessons Learned from RFID Field Test" as compiled by the Field Test Program Manager of the Auto ID Center. It is interesting to note the photographs of the different passive RFID antennas that could be used in product packaging - some small enough to fit into a soap box. Also curious is how many sector antennas have to pepper the test center in order to approach 100% RFID readability. 'In March 2001 a team comprised of Auto-ID Center sponsors (technology & end users) was assembled to plan and implement a Field Test aimed at taking the Auto-ID EPC technology from the laboratory to the real world environment with the objective of proving the power and effectiveness of the EPC and to blaze a trail for future adoption' "

  1. Make edible RFID tags! by myowntrueself · · Score: 4, Funny

    What we need now are edible RFID tags which fast food franchises can put in their happy meals and which will lodge in the gut of their consumers.

    This way, as soon as one of them waddles into their store, ones favorite happy meal will be ready for you by the time you get to the counter!!!

    Convenience!!!

    That will be double plus good! :)
