From the Editor's Desk

Steve HallidayWelcome to the latest issue of the High Tech AIDCourier.

This month has kept me very busy as we launched RAIN, the UHF RFID Alliance. A brand new organization devoted to growing the UHF RFID market, we have been talking to people and signing up members. If you are involved in UHF RFID then you need to check out the web site at www.RAINRFID.org . There is a lot of information available about the Alliance and you can download the sign-up forms on the site. We have a special offer if you join before 8 September, 2014. We have also arranged a webinar to explain more about what we do, and are in the process of organizing our first members meeting in September. You can get all the details on the web site.

If you or your company needs consulting help in the world of AIDC, then drop me a note and let's chat. High Tech Aid provides consulting on a variety of areas associated with AIDC.

 Follow my Twitter feed (@RFIDMan) for more current RFID, IOT and AIDC news and information.

Are you interested in sponsoring the newsletter?  We are looking for a new sponsor. Drop me a note to editor@hightechaid.com and let me know. E-mail me at editor@hightechaid.com and tell us what you think. Don’t forget to send this issue to your friends so that they can sign up for their own issue of the free newsletter at www.hightechaid.com.  If you have news to share or info you need, let me know at editor@hightechaid.com.

Technology News Briefs

RFID Standards

TNo new news this month except that the new ISO/IEC 18000-63 (ISO version of EPC Gen 2 V2) has passed the first round of ballots (Committee Draft).  We will hold a Comment Resolution Meeting in August.   Most of the AIDC standards word is getting ready for the SC 31 Plenary to be held in The Netherlands this month. I will report on the meeting in the next issue.

If you want more information on ISO standardization or on any issue of RFID standardization, then email steve@hightechaid.com. For a look at RFID standards work, you can visit http://www.UnderstandRFIDstandards.com.
