2. 2 2 What is RFID  RFID is a term used to describe generically a system that transmits a unique identity that uses radio waves. Uses of RFID technology  In the early 1970s, the government was looking for different ways to track hazardous nuclear material. Los Alamos National Laboratory developed an RFID model which put a transponder in each vehicle; in turn, this transponder was activated by an antenna at a gate. This model provided the ability to track materials that entered or left the facilities. Example of an Ameritech Wireless RFID toll tag card

5. 5 5 The largest area of growth for RFID technology is supply chain inventory tracking. Manufacturers have the potential to track inventory from the point the item was produced to when it was consumed. This method of tracking inventory differs significantly from the Universal Product Code (UPC) barcode, which is an industry- wide as a product identifier.

7. 7 7 Radio Frequency ranges  Radio Frequency (RF) is electromagnetic waves that have a frequency range of 30 Hz to 300 GHz. RFID typically uses a frequency range between 30 Hz and 5.8 GHz.  The frequency break down into four categories that provide unique qualities andcan be used in a variety of ways. The waves that are generated at these different frequencies pass through many types of materials but exhibit different characteristic or results. The categories are:  Low-Frequency (LF) 125 KHz 134 KHz  High-Frequency (HF) 13.56 MHz  Ultra™-High Frequency (UHF) 303.8 MHz 433 MHz 868 MHz  Microwave Frequency (MW) 915 MHz

12. 12 Active or passive tags data access capabilities  Active or passive tags come with the following data access capabilities.  Read only (RO)  Specific data that is burned permanently onto the microchip during manufacturing stages. Tag manufactures provide the data for the tag, which is also referred to as factory programmed.  Read write (RW)  Depending on the type of deployment scenario, the reader can be used to modify tag data. If this is an active tag, it could use functions within the microchip to collect and to update FLASH or FRAM (Ferroelectric Random Access Memory) memory. This tag is also referred to as field programmable or re-programmable. Manufacturing is the most expensive of the three types of data access described and poses data security concerns for data integrity.  For more information, see the following resources:  – RFID Essentials, Print ISBN-13: 978-0-59-600944-1  – RFID Field Guide: Deploying Radio Frequency Identification Systems, Print ISBN-13: 978-0-13-185355-3  Write once, read many (WORM)  WORM tags are used widely in the business sector today. They offer the ability for the user to modify or update information rather than the manufacturer of the tag. Compared to the RW tag, they provide a reasonable level of security and a much lower cost per tag.

Progressive to promote,the comprehensive roadmap of RFID system will be ready in 2008,their biz situtation is passive,still in the "educated" stage,once there is any oppty, BP need to inform Intermec and let Intermec to decide if take or not. Symbol : Symbol aquired Metrics (RFID technology), products--scanner for barcode ;moblie computer; wireless infrastructure; Micro kiosks; tag/reader/antennas for RFID ; Intermec is the biggest competitor ; Aggressive to promote, but their product roadmap & stratgey is not clear.
