Deployments of RFID systems to grow rapidly

A recent Frost & Sullivan analysis projects that Radio frequency identification systems (RFID) are expected to be deployed globally by organizations such as Wal-Mart and the U.S. Department of Defense at a rapid pace, reports DDI parent company VNU. Mandates by these companies will insist that suppliers

support the technology, which will cause the market for RFID middleware to leap from $23 million in 2004 to $220 million in 2011. The prices of RFID hardware, software and tags are expected to fall as a result. "Efforts are underway to bring the price of the tags to as low as five cents, which has been set as a target by the industry," said Frost & Sullivan senior research analyst Soumilya Banerjee to VNU.
