MICROSOFT TECHED 2005: Announcment of Microsoft’s RFID Initiative
In case you missed the news, we announced an initiative to offer a scalable, wireless RFID technology server infrastructure, enabling customers and partners to easily connect line-of-business applications with RFID sensors and devices. The infrastructure is being built using Microsoft .NET and Windows Server System technology and is designed to connect devices, capture and interpret data, manage business events, and integrate systems and processes more easily than ever.
All 13,000 participants at TechEd 2005 this year were given attendee badges with RFID technology in them.
Additionally, press coverage has been very positive on the announcement.
