RFID hardware and software provider TAGSYS this week announced a new pilot program and fixed reader under the umbrella of its "Path to V2" program, which aims to smooth the transition to a forthcoming EPCglobal standard for high-frequency (HF) RFID technology. Version 2 (V2) of the high-frequency standard would provide for better accuracy and speed in writing and reading information to and from RFID tags. Although ratification of V2 is not expected until January 2008, much of its technical infrastructure has already been established, and TAGSYS is one of the vendors in the EPCglobal Hardware Action Group, which is helping to define the specification. The standard is based on the same logical layer as the ultra-high frequency Gen 2 standard, said John Jordan, president of worldwide operations for TAGSYS. But that synergy matters less to potential RFID users than the results they can get from tags and readers, he said. "Clients don't care about HF or UHF; they just want to have the product work."
