RFID, a Vision of the Future

Overview This paper provides a view of an RFID-enabled Future. The term, "RFID", in its broadest sense, can refer not just to next-generation barcodes, but to a compact class of wireless computing devices. There is a broad spectrum of radio-frequency technologies, including more highly functional (and expensive) technologies such as Bluetooth, mobile phones, and Wi-Fi. The future holds applications of RFID that go far beyond mere bar-coding. A ubiquitously RFID-tagged and networked world offers a transformational extension of the World Wide Web.

Peter Cochrane's Uncommon Sense: You wear it well

Fortunately we have used less than 10 per cent of the frequency spectrum available. The key question is - how is the limited radio spectrum going to cope? Between 30 and 300GHz almost none of the spectrum is used as molecular resonances make it...

Peter Cochrane's Uncommon Sense: Mobile guesses

First, we have so far, only used up to 10 per cent of the frequency spectrum available. A key question: will the limited radio spectrum cope with all this? From the cordless keyboard and mouse, to the next generation white goods (washing machines...

Nokia gets smart with RFID kit
