Overview
This unique report is written by an independent expert in the
field, Sanjay Chatterjee. The report evaluates RFID from an application,
adoption, usage, and policy perspective. The report evaluates the current
options and the future of RFID, analyzing the often overlooked challenges
encountered during deployment and operation of RFID systems. It also provides
economic analysis and ROI assessment for RFID deployment. Finally, the report
provides a strategic view of the anticipated evolution of RFID through 2010 from
an application perspective. Combining financial analysis, fact sheets, device
comparisons, estimation analysis and trend analysis, this report is a must for
anyone with a vested interest in RFID now or considering an investment over the
next three years.
