From the Editor's Desk
This month the newsletter has had to take second place to other events that have happened. Along with the business and family work, I have been at the RFID Journal Live show in Orlando, FL. At the show I was involved in several events. The first of these was the announcement of RAIN, the UHF RFID Alliance, which will provide the marketing push that UHF RFID has never seen. Everyone who is involved in RFID, whether manufacturer or user, may join. You can visit the web site at www.RAINRFID.org and find out all the information you need. Second was the IoT Day event that we held. We had about 50 people attend the event with drink and food made available by our seven sponsors (AIDC 100, AIM Inc., CDO Technologies, Evanhoe & Associates, High Tech Aid, Smartrac, and Zebra Technologies). Each of the sponsors explained their interest in IoT and we had time to chat about the IoT. Lastly, I moderated a session at the event on the IoT. With four speakers we had great attendance and all learned a lot about the IoT. Thanks to everyone who spoke and attended. 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 This month several of the RFID standards have moved to new levels. ISO/IEC 18000-7 has started FDIS ballot. ISO/IEC 18000-4 has both completed the DIS stage and has been sent for FDIS ballot as well as a revision to the standard has been approved to add an active RFID air interface to the standard. On the RFID Security side, both ISO/IEC 29167 parts 1 and 11 have also entered the FDIS ballot stage. If you are not familiar with the ISO standards process you can read more at http://www.hightechaid.com/standards/how_does_iso_work.htm. If you want more information on ISO standardization or on any issue of RFID standardization, then email steve@hightechaid.com.
