A flexible, configurable, and upgradeable RFID infrastructure is required to support Gen 2 and beyond as well as allow users to reap the business benefits of improved operations. Features like multi-protocol support, software-defined radios, and adjustable power settings provide long-term investment protection and lower the total cost of ownership of your RFID infrastructure as it matures and evolves. When evaluating RFID investments, determine if the products:

1) meet your current needs for protocols, options, and features;

2) include simultaneous support for multiple RFID protocols; and

3) offer a low-cost, clear, easy, and efficient upgrade path that can sustain operations with minimal disruption.
