WhatisRFID?

RadioFrequencyIdentification Radio

It is a wireless technology that allows manufacturers to attach tags with antenna and computer chips on goods and then track their movement through radio signals.

Tag (transponder) a semiconductor chip, an antenna, and sometimes a battery.

Interrogator (reader) an antenna, RF electronics module, and a control electronic module.

Controller (host) (host) Workstation

CostsofDeveloping&Deploying RFIDTechnology
Today, RFID tags cost between $0.30 and $0.60. Although the price of passive UHF RFID tags will drop dramatically during the next four years, the degree of adoption of RFID technology will depend on how low the price drops. It appears that the retail industry's next tier of RFID technology development and application will be tagging high high-end items with RFID tags that cost in the $0.25 or less range. range.

ContCostsofDeveloping& DeployingRFIDTechnology
However, the costs associated wit RFID systems are However, not limited to just the tags. The time and manpower that end The end-users will have to invest in training employees on new RFID systems is one more cost that could inhibit the adoption of RFID technology.

WalMart RFID has a very promising future but requires time. Success depends on resolving the number of obstacles before ubiquitous deployment.

Potential uses may be limitless. Adopters of RFID technology can be divided in three categories:
