Introduction to Dash7 Technologies
Published March 2009Author J.P. Norair explores how the Dash7 Alliance is working to increase the market size for ultra-low-power wireless product lines by cultivating a global network of partners in that space. The new industry group is intent on expanding the use of active RFID technology based on the ISO 18000-7 standard across various industries and sectors. In this white paper—the first in a series—Norair addresses different aspects of Dash7's technological agenda, including technical overviews of low-power RF and the ISO 18000-7 standard, as well as supplemental usage of low-frequency (LF) RFID and real-time location systems (RTLS).
