I don’t have a specific number, but there are many if you define the term “reseller” broadly. There are large distributors, such as BlueStar and Scan Source. There are also many systems integrators that resell RFID equipment. And there are label converters that resell RFID transponders. All told, I would guess there are several hundred companies worldwide. You can search for “resellers” in our online Buyer’s Guide to get a more complete list.
