Futuristic RFID Trial in Tokyo Shopping District
Friday January 5th, 2007
RFID technology will figure prominently into one of the most ambitious city-of-the-future projects to date. In Tokyo's famed Ginza shopping district, 10,000 RFID tags and similar wireless beacons will be embedded in public fixtures like walls and street lamps, according to Computerworld. Passers-by, equipped with prototype reader devices, will be able to obtain location-specific information as they pass each beacon. Examples include directions to the closest public transportation terminal, current promotions at a retailer in the neighborhood, or the menu of a nearby restaurant. The information will be available in Japanese, English, Chinese, and Korean. |

What is RFID ? - Wikipedia Definition: Radio-frequency identification (RFID) is an automatic identification method, relying on storing and remotely retrieving data using devices called RFID tags or transponders. An RFID tag is an object that can be attached to or incorporated into a product, animal, or person for the purpose of identification using radio waves. Chip-based RFID tags contain silicon chips and antennas. Passive tags require no internal power source, whereas active tags require a power source. |
The Future of RFID (View on Demand Video)
What is the future of RFID? The adoption of this promising technology has been slowed due to the lack of global standard and rising privacy concerns. What is being done to overcome these issues? Will the EPCglobal Network be able institute an effective global standard that will span country boundaries? What are the promising technologies on the horizon and what is their potential impact? |

RFID Journal is the only independent media company devoted solely to radio frequency identification and its many business applications. Our mission: to help companies use RFID technology to improve the way they do business.
The Journal was launched on March 1, 2002, in the belief that RFID was an important technology that would revolutionize the way companies around the world do business. Today, RFID is beginning to live up to its promise. As technical standards are being established, costs are coming down, and mandates to use the technology are being issued by major retailers and organizations, widespread adoption of RFID is all but guaranteed. |
RFID Platform Nederland is een platform waar leveranciers en (potentiele) gebruikers van RFID elkaar kunnen ontmoeten. Om slagvaardig in te kunnen spelen op de ontwikkelingen hebben enkele grote organisaties besloten om een platform op te richten waar kennis en ervaringen kunnen worden uitgewisseld, waar onderzoek wordt verricht, en waar gewerkt wordt aan het slechten van mogelijke barrieres voor de toepassing van RFID. De missie van het platform is: Het stimuleren van toepassingsmogelijkheden van RFID voor zowel aanbieders als gebruikers, kennis te bundelen en toegankelijk te maken, en toe te zien op een verantwoord gebruik van RFID. |
The Future of Shopping (Source Newsweek International)
Tiny silicon identity chips being put in everyday objects and even implanted under the skin are changing the way we consume. Will they also invade our privacy? |
RFID Guardian - A new tool from a graduate student at the Vrije Universiteit in Amsterdam offers the first real-time cloak of protection to users concerned about security, and no hammer blows are required. The RFID Guardian is essentially a firewall that can prevent or allow RFID queries, and can do so on a per-tag basis. Melanie Rieback, the Guardian's designer, describes it as a portable, battery-powered device for personal RFID privacy—but even if you aren't concerned about men in dark sunglasses snatching your passport data, the selective jamming tech in this diminutive device is fascinating stuff. |
The RFID Guardian Project is a collaborative project focused upon providing security and privacy in Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) systems. The goals of our project are to:
* Investigate the security and privacy threats faced by RFID systems
* Design and implement real solutions against these threats
* Investigate the associated technological and legal issues |
RFID: Robot for infinite decluttering?
(From USA TODAY) CAMBRIDGE, Mass. — Finally, someone has articulated a reason why it's good that companies will spend billions of dollars to put radio-frequency identification (RFID) tags on absolutely everything ever sold. |
EPCglobal Network Will Track RFID Data
The EPCglobal Network combines radio-frequency identification technology, existing network infrastructure and EPCs (Electronic Product Codes). As EPCglobal develops standards for hardware and software, vendors will build the appropriate products that, eventually, will allow users to trade data about RFID-enabled items as they move along the supply chain. |
