Standardization drives growth of RFID readers

This piece from ReliablePlant discusses the ongoing standardization initiatives in the RFID arena. As a relatively new technology, companies need to make sufficient investments into RFID research and development to determine innovative ways to improve the tag-read accuracy.

...the concerted efforts of RFID companies and industry organizations to establish standards for the technology will also likely commoditize RFID hardware. For instance, the recent Gen 2 standards for ultra high frequency (UHF) have made it possible for readers manufactured by a particular company to read tags produced by any company.
