The write-up for each technology provider includes its address, Web site URL and phone number, as well as an e-mail contact if provided. The guide also lists each company's primary products, the major applications for which they are used and the regions in which the firm does business.

In addition, the 2006 Buyer's Guide to RFID Resources includes four feature stories offering practical advice to end users looking to purchase RFID hardware, software or services:


  • "10 Questions to Ask RFID Vendors"
  • "The Right Reader Strategy"
  • "Middleware: The Land Between"

"We introduced the Buyer's Guide at RFID Journal LIVE! 2006, our recent conference and exhibition, and the reaction of both end users and the vendor community was very positive," says Mark Roberti, founder and editor of RFID Journal. "Clearly, the RFID industry and market have matured to the point where a buyer's guide is needed."
