RFID 101

June 28, 2004 (Press Release) -- Radio frequency identification technology (RFID) is beginning to revolutionize the way business is done. Already, the U.S. Department of Defense and Wal-Mart are requiring their top suppliers to have RFID technology implemented in their supply chains by January 1, 2005. As more manufacturers of RFID tags, readers and software solutions enter the market, the price of implementing the technology will continue to decline.



In light of RFID’s emergence as a critical technology in the B2B world, Jimandi Corp. has announced the launch of a special report, “RFID 101”. The report is available online at http://www.rfidgazette.org/2004/06/rfid_101.html and is subtitled “The Future Is Here: A Beginner's Guide to RFID”.



“RFID 101” begins by highlighting the history of the technology, which was first invented by Harry Stockman with the publishing of his 1948 report "Communication by Means of Reflected Power”. It also discusses issues and technologies that are tangential to RFID, including PML, EPC and ONS.



The report was edited by Jimmy Atkinson of The RFID Gazette ( http://www.rfidgazette.org ). He predicts that adherence to standards is the key to widespread RFID adoption in many supply chains. “Technical standardization will bring the cost of RFID down drastically,” Atkinson says in the report.
