4. The RFID Software Market March 20th - 12:00 EDT, 9:00 Pacific It's all about the data. So once I capture a signal, then what? RFID is unleashing a data explosion of real-time, position sensitive information, capturing business events as they are happening. This opens the door to new types of applications or improvements in legacy applications. This 90 minute course will cover the RFID Software Market: - Software environments -- what are the different types of applications: from a user perspective, such as Security, Transportation, Retail, Manufacturing, Defense, Maritime, Mining, Utilities, and Healthcare?
- What are the software components underlying these capabilities: from RFID middleware, to Network applications, to business applications such as customer data/CRM/Loyalty programs, Demand Management and replenishment, Warehouse management, Asset tracking, Document tracking, Access control, Locating, Inventory management, and Optimization of business processes?
- Who are the providers of these applications, the Software Market?

5. Active RFID April 2 - 12:00 EDT, 9:00 Pacific
Active RFID has many uses and proven value in specific applications. Whether Asset tracking, access control, security, etc., Active RFID has been successfully deployed in many businesses from Auto, to Maritime, to Hospitals to Mines. But, not all Active solutions are the same. There are significant engineering, frequency and hardware differences designed to solve different types of problems. This 90 minute course will provide an introduction to the Active solution: Types of Active RFID solutions Components of Active solutions What are the different frequencies UHF, 433 MHz and 2.4 GHz, 802.11 and which problems do they best solve? What are problems such as trace and track vs. precision locating and how are they solved? What is a locating solution, both the hardware and software? How do they work? How to determine location: telemetry, triangulation, RSSI, TDOA, and GPS Mapping out a solution: examples from real life.
