RFID Journal – Day 2 Blog

On the final day of the show, I met with more exhibitors and anxiously waited to hear who had won the RFID Journal awards this year.  For those of you who don't know about the winners, we tweeted them yesterday.  http://twitter.com/#!/vdc_rfid

Cubic: If you are not familiar with the government sector, then you might not know about this Cubic.  This company is a market leader in Asset Management and Supply Chain solutions to the military ... and they are beginning to get into the enterprise side of the market.  Cubic offers long range asset visibility and management in a diversity of environments (including very harsh ones) via a mesh network that can be rapidly deployed.  They have been adding a tremendous amount of benefit to the military as seen in this Washington Times article   I am eager to learn more about this company and its capabilities.

RedPine: Haven't heard of this company?  You will soon.  They have developed a dynamic multi-frequency RTLS solution integrated with a mesh network platform.  In other words, they have introduced a solution that can be function at 2.5 & 5 GHz while offering highly accurate location and sensing - in a very cost effective manner.  2.5 GHz is a high traffic frequency (i.e.: Bluetooth), so offering an enterprise the additional flexibility to work on the 5 GHz band is an attractive value proposition.  This company's RF expertise and innovative solutions have really caught my eye.  I'll be following this company closely.

William Frick: The speciality tag manufacturer, already well known in the labeling and converting communities, is beginning to garner more attention due to their ability to customize their transponders ... not only with a growing diversity of form factors and materials, but also because they are willing to develop and produce these tags in much lower volumes than their competitors.  In a time when most deployments can still be characterized as requiring customized tags at small volumes ... this business model makes a lot of sense.  And let's not forget that they have capacity, so they can grow with their clients. 

BTW ... congratulation to RFID Journal on their 10th anniversary of this show.  As always, a special thanks to Mark Roberti, Debbie Hughes and Deb Lambert for putting on another great show.  Looking forward to next year.
