The RFID industry got a new trade show and industry association this week. Other news highlighted in the weekly roundup include multiple new implementation announcements and a handful of product releases.
The system, initiated by the Universal Postal Union, uses EPC Gen 2 RFID technology to measure delivery times for letters sent to and from 21 countries.
Unlike a conventional RFID system, the tags utilize the global cellular network to transmit a container’s ID number and location, as well as the cargo’s environmental condition and status.
The Speedway Revolution automatically adjusts to external conditions, such as RFID tag density or the presence of metallic objects, enabling improved performance and easier installation.
This month 21 countries will begin using RFID to track delivery times for international mail. The Universal Postal Union expects the system will be adopted by more than 100 of its member nations.
