RFID Consortium Adds 3M As A Member
3M Corp has joined the RFID Consortium, an organization of companies with the mandate to promote UHF (Ultra High Frequeny) RFID and EPCGlobal EPC Gen2 standards. UHF tags broadcast at much greater distances and is often used in applications such as supply chain management - for example to control inventory in warehouses. Late last year, the RFID Consortium set down a structure for creating a patent pool, for which they recently hired an administrator. A different consortium, RFID CUSP, recently received a million-dollar grant from the NSF to study the security and privacy implications of radio frequency technology.
