ITU-T Workshop Network RFID ITU-T Workshop Network RFID 14-15 February 200614-15 February 2006

ObjectivesThe event focused on the use of RFID technology in networked environments, and review international standardization. Particular emphasis will be given to the impact that networked RFID applications will have on telecommunication networks, especially on network and service capability requirements and inter-working aspects.

– Present the status of RFID technology and identify future trends

– Review current and future applications, services and business models leveraging networked RFIDs (NRFIDs)

– Identify NRFID aspects relevant to telecommunications (services and network capabilities, architecture, QoS, performance, security, etc.)

– Analyse how far existing standards can support NRFID applications and services, and identify where enhanced or new standards might be needed

– Identify elements for a roadmap for a standardization framework, including the clarification of the role of applicable SDOs, forums and consortia
