ADDED: 12/6/2004 8:47:00 AM
Dec 2, 2004. Demonstration testing on the proposed UHF Generation 2 specifications were completed at the MET Labs Santa Clara facilty. MET Labs is EPCglobal's official testing partner. Results provided proof that products could be built based on the proposed candidate specification.
The EPCglobal UHF Generation 2 protocol, a consensus standard developed by more than 60 of the world’s leading technology companies, describes the core capabilities required to meet essential performance needs as set by the end-user community.
This final phase began last month, with technology manufacturers developing and then testing prototype chips, tags and readers built to the EPCglobal UHF Generation 2 specification.
Five vendors participated in the final demonstration tests, conducted Dec. 2 in MET Labs testing facility in Santa Clara, Calif. The vendors who participated in the tests were Monsey, NY-based Applied Wireless Identification; Seattle, Wash. based Impinj; Everett, Wash.-based Intermec, Philips Semiconductor, based in The Netherlands; and Dallas, TX based Texas Instruments RFID. These vendors' reader and tag prototypes were put through a battery of tests to verify whether the technology functions as it is supposed to in accordance with the UHF Gen 2 specification documents.
With demonstration testing complete, the UHF Generation 2 specification will become a standard after a final review by EPCglobal’s Business and Technical Steering Committees and then final ratification by the EPCglobal Board of Governors.
