EPCglobal Finalizes First Global Standards for RFID
EPCglobal, the leader in RFID standardization, is a nonprofit joint venture between EAN International and the Uniform Code Council. According to EPCglobal spokesman Jack Grasso, the electronic product code (EPC) technologies standards define the types of tags to be used, the frequency of the tags, and the read rates of the tags.
InfoWorld reports:
"Grasso acknowledged that the new protocols don't solve all the problems in creating a global standards for RFID technologies, but said 'it's an evolutionary process. This is the first set of formal standards and others will follow.'
"In fact, EPCglobal has begun creating standards for the next generation of tag specifications called UHF (ultra high frequency) Gen 2."
