Evaluating RFID Tag Performance

Overview The RFID Alliance Lab was launched at the University of Kansas in 2004 to provide testing and benchmarking of RFID and EPC products. This webcast discusses the results of the Lab's tests and what they mean for end users. Through this webcast one can learn differences in performance characteristics of class 0 and Class 1 tags and how to design systems to cope with these differences, why tags perform poorly around metal and water, how to overcome problems tagging products with water and metal, how to choose the appropriate tag for the products, and how to choose the best overall tags for one's needs.

RFID specialist touts cheaper, smaller tags...
