Abstract
Radio Frequencies ID (RFID) technology attracts various groups of users. Its
wide range of applications covers commercial, military and homeland security
areas. RFID importance acknowledged by almost all branches of the industry,
and its penetration level in our economy can be compared with auto revolution
at the beginning of the 20th Century.
The report stresses the:
- Necessity to address a multitude of the RFID technological issues
- Importance of UWB RFID
- Importance of RFID in Homeland Security
- Necessity to address the RFID market
- Necessity to explain the market drivers and barriers
- Necessity to explore portfolio of the market players.
The report researches the RFID landscape by examining the current state of the
technology, standards, market and the industry. The study looks to provide a
deeper understanding to wide audience RFID specifics, advantages and
limitations. It is concentrated on the successes and limitations encountered
with the current iterations of available RFID products. It also looks
further, until 2010-2011, with market forecast and technologies on the horizon.
In particular, this report goal was to addresses the following RFID aspects:
- RFID market characteristics, their specifics, and market segmentation
- Technology for RFID, technological trends (UWB and other), standards and
associated issues
- Sociological RFID issues
- Market barriers
- Applications
- Current implementation
- Market players and their products.
The report concentrates on a new for RFID applications technology -- Ultra
Wide Band -- that promises numerous benefits, such as very low power
consumption for active elements, low sensitivity to interference and others.
There are numerous publications that cover various RFID topics.
We organized this report in a way that:
- Each section can be viewed independently
- Topics are exclusively about various RFID properties, and the coverage of
these properties is extensive
- All information is up-to-date, and will be updated annually
- Both marketing and technological issues are covered.
There are two major parts of this report: Technologies and Markets.
In the Technology part, the report discusses RFID standards, regulatory
issues, and shows differences in regional developments of RFID. This part
also researches various RFID technologies, including UWB, processes, types of
these devices and their characteristics. Limitations and advantages of each
type are addressed.
In the Market part, the report discusses RFID applications, market
characteristics and provides the market forecasts. It also summarizes a survey
of the major industry players with detailed analysis of their portfolios.
This report also provides a Summary of the authors' findings.
