RAIN RFID Alliance announces new partnerships

The RAIN RFID Alliance announced partnerships with two key organizations in the RFID industry. CNRFID (the French RFID National Center) and IDTechEx will join with RAIN to provide information and guidance to organizations involved in passive UHF RFID. CNRFID was created by the French Government, to encourage the deployment of RFID - Radio Frequency IDentification. RFID is an automatic identification technology offering potential applications in all sectors (retail, health, aeronautic industry, leisure, transportation, etc.). Active RFID tags and passive RFID tags appear in different form factors: RFID tags, RFID badges, RFID cards, etc. These RFID tags are generally associated with RFID readers connected to the information system.
