Analyst Update

Here’s a piece from RFID Update that touches on the point that RFID application is on its way to mass adoption – and it doesn't involve EPC tags on shipping containers or consumer goods.

RFID is really not about the cost. It's about the flexibility and visibility that you're going to get…

Brendon Ouimette, an analyst at Frost and Sullivan said lower RFID reader and middleware costs would also aid adoption, and that the product costs could change dramatically in the next few years.

High-profile users, lower RFID infrastructure costs, and technology improvements could all lead to more adoption, although Ouimette cautioned that cost may not be as strong of an RFID adoption inhibitor as many believe.
