RFID:Gen2  implications smart label printing

The long-anticipated EPCglobal Generation 2 Class 1 (Gen 2) RFID products

are expected to reach markets andsupply chain operations starting in the fall of 2005.

Companies that ship, track, and manage materials markedwith RFID tags are planning accordingly.

But the arival of Gen 2 does not signal the retirement or obsolescenceof other RFID protocols.

In fact, it will likely be several years before all partners in RFID-enabled supplychains are consolidated on Gen 2.

Even then, other RFID protocols will also be in use in other business applications, just as numerous bar code formats

 are used today.

Organizations that print and encode RFID smartlabels, or expect to in the future, must plan for an ongoing

multi-protocol RFID environment, regardless of theircurrent RFID involvement or expected requirements.

This white paper explains the implications Gen 2 has for smart label printing.

It illustrates the need to support multiple RFID protocols, cover the considerations of upgrading installed printer/encoders to support Gen 2,

identify potential obstacles and costs to upgrading equipment

and how they can be avoided, and explain how options and variables within the Gen 2 standard create needs for specific features in print-er/encoders
