See you there!
Posted by simsong at November 15, 2003 08:32 AMVery interesting webcast so far, up to the coffee break.
The maximum read range figures for 915Mhz UHF tags of say 19 metres assumes staying within the legal FCC power limits for a passive tag. What is the range using a consumer satellite dish to boost the signals, as is common with 2.4GHz WiFi point to point links etc ?
How common are 2.4GHz RFID tags ?
What are the implications for the health effects of long term exposure to Readers on retail shop staff. who willbe exposed to them, day in, day out >
It is interesting to hear confirmation that so far there have been no trials of tags which can be "killed".
Simson,
Wondering if any members of the MIT Auto-ID Center/ECPGlobal (UCC/EAN) International Public Policy Council were consulted prior to the live Phase III RFID trials in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma.
We understand you weren't told. (In her keynote this morning, Katherine Albrecht presented a copy of your blog in which you said on October 4 that, "there have been NO product-level RFID trials to date." (See http://www.rfidprivacy.org/blog/archives/000032.html)
Have you gotten any feedback from other Council members? Is there a sense that they, along with consumers, have been betrayed by the RFID industry?
