Written in conjunction with Datamonitor and Cisco, this paper sets out to assist manufacturers, retailers and logistics companies in their progression from current RFID implementations towards that so-called nirvana that RFID promises to deliver.
2. The EPCglobal RFID development and implementation guide: This paper investigates the key elements an organisation should consider during the development and implementation of an RFID application to EPCglobal standards.
3. A guide to RFID frequency standards and regulations in the European UHF range:This paper will help organisations make an informed decision about UHF frequencies when defining and selecting an RFID system.
