RFID Gen 2 Solution Unveiled

"Symbol Technologies, Inc., The Enterprise Mobility Company, IBM and Royal Philips Electronics today demonstrated RFID EPC Generation 2 (Gen 2) showing simultaneous interoperability between EPC Gen 2 tags and class 0 and class 1 Gen 1 tags. This demonstration marks the start of Symbol's Gen 2 Early Adopter program, announced in 2004, and designed to migrate customers to Gen 2 at the pace their business requires without costly disruption to their current RFID system. Symbol will simultaneously support the Gen 1 and Gen 2 standards on its reader infrastructure while helping customers manage their transition from Gen 1 tags to Gen 2 tags. Symbol Gen 2 Early Adopter customers and partners can view the demo and will be able to evaluate prototype Gen 2 tags and reader infrastructure in the coming months. This will ease the evolution through simultaneous support of Gen 2 and Gen 1 in preparation for the broad commercial release of Gen 2 solutions." Source: morerfid.com
