From the Editor's Desk
This month's issue has a focus on the Internet of Things (IoT) and
Near Field Communications (NFC). This is not intentional but rather
emphasizes the amount of news that is flowing on these two hot
topics. There has been a lot of news focusing on IoT for some time
now, but there is still a big question about standards for the
topic. See the standards area below for some news.
Follow my Twitter feed (@RFIDMan) for more current RFID, IOT and AIDC news and
information.

Last week I attended the inaugural meeting of the ISO/IEC JTC 1
Special Working Group on IoT. This new standards group has been
created by JTC 1 to get a grasp on what work is being done on
standards for IoT. If you want more information on ISO standardization or on any issue of RFID standardization, then email steve@hightechaid.com.
