U.K. Startup Launches Wide-Area EPC RFID System

Researchers from the University of Cambridge have formed a new company, known as PervasID, to deliver a "wide-area" radio frequency identification solution that it claims is "error-free" when tracking paper documents and other assets. The system can cover up to a 400-square-meter (4,300-square-foot) area by means of a single EPC Gen 2-compliant ultrahigh-frequency (UHF) RFID reader, and can scale up to accommodate much larger deployments.
