RFID Middleware: Opportunities
and Pitfalls in Software
Shawn Willett
Research Director, Application Infrastructure
September 27, 2005
The customer adoption of RFID is increasing, primarily driven by mandates from Wal-Mart, The Department of Defense and others. While hardware vendors begin to offer increasingly commoditized products, it is in software that the real value may lie. In particular, the middleware layer promises to form a platform for next generation applications.
In this telebriefing replay from Current Analysis, Shawn Willett, Research Director, Application Infrastructure, reviews the opportunities in RFID middleware, including how technology and products will evolve, how traditional players and start ups will get into the act, and what use cases will likely pop up first. Some of the questions covered in the telebriefing include:
- How does current RFID middleware work and are new technologies needed to exploit RFID data?
- How can process tools help build new RFID applications?
- How will big players and small players fit into this market?
- What are the new industries and use cases where RFID applications will appear next?
- What are the pitfalls in the market for both users and vendors?
