The next wave is the Tsunami

Bret's last two blogs ( http://bit.ly/9s30gR ) point out the issues that we are having getting tags and readers, as well as antennas, cables,etc. Claire points out several of the reasons above but what is most torubling from the supply side is the next wave.

We are 12-18 months away from the consumer adoption of RFID. The early adopters like Vail resorts are going to lead the way, but soon this will drive significant demand and require specific performance that is not availble today. New R&D and new manufacturing will mean delays all over the indsutry. HW manufactures need to get ahead of the curve and start investing today to prepare for not only the current B2B demand but the future consumer demand.
