Ireland's 18M Euro Fingerprint System
The Irish
Naturalisation and Immigration Service are spending 18M euros for an
electronic fingerprint system. Called AFIS, the system will take nearly
18 months to be developed. Biometrics techniques will be used on asylum
seekers and non-EEA (European Economic Area) nationals to ensure that
they are not lawbreakers elsewhere. [via Silicon Republic]
Online RFID E-learning Program
Abhisam Software offers an online RFID training program
for a cost of US$99. This is a supplement to their US$399 CD-based
program. The course outline contains discussions of basic concepts, the
physics of RFID, RFID systems, middleware, applications, security, and
privacy. More details about the course's contents here. [via Processing Talk]
Active RFID Summit
Lost
or stolen product costs European distribution centers as much as US$24B
annually. Active RFID has the potential to help reduce such undesirable
operating costs. This was the focus of the Active RFID Summit in
Atlanta, Georgia, recently - an event hosted by IDTechEx. Circuits
Assembly has a synopsis of the event.
