Understanding Gen 2: What It Is, How You Will Benefit and Criteria for Vendor Assessment

Overview The next generation of RFID technology - commonly referred to as Gen 2 - has finally arrived. Companies that have already implemented RFID solutions are looking to understand the benefits of Gen 2 and if upgrading is possible or even necessary. Companies that are mandated or planning to implement RFID technology are also looking to understand and quantify the business benefits of RFID. Both however, are faced with a dilemma. The Gen 2 standard has been ratified and Gen 2 products are now beginning to come to market - is it wise to implement now, or should companies wait until Gen 2 solutions are more pervasive, with proven success and interoperability? This white paper addresses these questions, and more.
