| RFID Correspondence Group (Closed: July 2006) |
|
See JCA-NID
This Correspondence Group will focus on radio frequency identification (RFID). RFID is the much-touted system
that enables data to be transmitted by a tiny portable device, called a tag, which is read by an RFID reader
and processed according to the needs of a particular application. Analysts predict that RFID will revolutionize
areas of industry including supply chain management, security and mobile telecommunications services. Also RFID
will play an important role for the realization of the Ubiquitous Network Society. Currently, the market for
RFID standards is extremely fragmented. Special standards for certain, limited fields of applications exist
as well as quasi-proprietary or proprietary standards. Many RFID applications still lack global standards for
data formats, compatibility, interoperability, interference problems, personal information protection,
authentication, key management and others. ITU-T will focus on the standardization of mobile RFID related work.
This Correspondence Group will be moderated by Mr. B. Nam Lee.
