From the Editor's Desk
For those of us in the Northern hemisphere, summer has arrived. Here
in Pittsburgh PA (USA) the temperatures are not our typical – hot
and the grass still seems to be growing as the rain keeps on
falling. But I am sure that will change.

then drop me a note and let's chat. High Tech Aid provides
consulting on a variety of areas associated with AIDC.

This annual meeting in the standards world, looks at all of the AIDC technologies and gets reports from all of the technology workgroups. At the meeting SC 31/WG 4 met to discuss the progress of the various standards that belong to this group. Both the SG 1 (Data Syntax) and SG 3 (air interface) groups have standards in progress, either as new or revisions to existing standards. A new work item has also been filed at ISO to update the ISO/IEC 18000-3 standard to allow the use of the ISO/IEC 29167 series of standards for crypto suites. If you want more information on ISO standardization or on any issue of RFID standardization, then email steve@hightechaid.com.
