Dual Frequency for ILT?Dual Frequency for ILT?• There are applications where UHF works best and others where HF works

best and the industry should resist attempts to force a one-size-fits-all solution. • The choice of technologies should not be based upon the product type submitted

to the reader, not by application; the same receiving line will most likely not receive both pharmaceuticals (HF) and tires (UHF).

• Dual tagging of items is NOT an option! • Novel antenna concepts, e.g. fractal antennas, may permit multi-frequency tags

When it comes to the future, there are three kinds of people: those who let it happen, those who make it happen, and those who wonder what happened.그것이 미래에 올 때 , 사람의 3 개의 종류 있는다 : 그것을 일어나는 시키는

그들 , 그것을 일어난 그들 , 및 일어난 것이 경이하는 그들을 .


Higher Speed NetworksHigher Speed Networks• Before content becomes richer, users proliferate, and

applications more ubiquitous, the need exists for networks to be beyond the speed of 6 mb/s or even 12 mb/s.

• The network must enable the applications.

As for the future, your task is not to foresee it, but to enable it.미래에 관해서는 , 너의 업무는 그것을 예견하고는 , 그러나 가능하게 하는 .

Future Power CellsFuture Power CellsFuture Power SourcesFuture Power Sources

• We continue to want to put more functionality into portable devices

• Many of the functions that we want to enable require faster processing, which in turn requires additional power (Dilithium Crystals?)

• We will continue to improve power cells until we are able to harvest power from the environment


Wireless TechnologyWireless Technology

• In the later part of the 20th century the U.S., Europe, and Japan led in technological development

• Today, Korea is, without a doubt, the leading visionary nation with regards to wireless technology. Catch-up and run ahead.

• There is, however, an elephant in the room and we cannot ignore her for much longer. China is not content to only provide low cost labor, they want technology; and wireless technology is among what they want most.

Public policy - SecurityPublic policy - Security• Need to develop effective countermeasures for:

– Skimming data– "Eavesdropping" or “sniffing” on transmission between tag and reader– Spoofing– Cloning– Data tampering– Malicious code– Denial of access / service– Unauthorized killing the tag (electronic or mechanical)– Jamming / Shielding

• ITU-T/SG 17 (Q.9/17), REG (ToR 5C), and SC 31/WG 4/SG 5 (ISO/IEC 24729-4) actively pursuing security issues


Public policy - PrivacyPublic policy - Privacy• Need to develop guidelines on data privacy

(corporate and government databases) more that concern for the technology

• A careful balance needs to be struck between the needs for individual privacy and the benefits available from technology.


Public policy - Safety Public policy - Safety (JTC 1/SC 31)(JTC 1/SC 31)

1. Conformance clause in all standards for devices emitting RF (both electrical and magnetic)

All conformance standards for devices emitting RF energy (both electrical and magnetic) include a conformance clause noting: “Device manufacturers claiming conformance to this standard shall self-certify that RF emissions do not exceed the maximum permitted exposure limits recommended by either IEEE C95.1:2005 or ICNIRP according to IEC 62369-1. If a device manufacturer is unsure as to which recommendation to be cited for compliance the manufacturer shall self-certify to ICNIRP limits.”

2. Conformance clause in all standards for devices emitting RF (both electrical and magnetic) in a health care setting All conformance standards for devices emitting RF energy (both electrical and magnetic), that may be used in a health care setting, include a conformance clause noting: “Device manufacturers claiming conformance to this standard shall self-certify that RF emissions and susceptibility comply with IEC 60601-1-2.”


ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 31ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 31• Pretoria Plenary created an ad hoc entitled Mobile

Item Identification and Management (MIIM) under document 31n2305


MIIM - Task DefinitionMIIM - Task DefinitionThe ad hoc group on Mobile item identification and management in support of consumer applications shall coordinate those work items assigned by the SC 31 secretariat with regard to new standardization activities in the field of mobile item identification and management in support of consumer applications providing item identification management web services through use of portable consumer devices, by embedding mobile RFID interrogators and optically readable media (ORM) readers into portable consumer devices and providing standards for interoperability of ubiquitous sensor networks.


MIIM - Time FrameMIIM - Time FrameThe ad hoc group on Mobile item identification and management in support of consumer applications will perform such tasks as defined above, until the ad hoc is reorganized or until the next SC 31 Plenary, whichever occurs first.


MIIM - Ad Hoc AdministrationMIIM - Ad Hoc Administration

Ad Hoc Group Membership

The ad hoc group on Mobile item identification and management in support of consumer applications will consist of those members of SC 31 National Bodies and liaisons having identified themselves to the Ad Hoc Convener no later than 1 August 2007.

Ad Hoc Group Convener

The ad hoc group on Mobile item identification and management in support of consumer applications convener shall be Craig K. Harmon, Q.E.D. Systems, U.S. National Body.

Ad Hoc Administrative Support

Administrative support for the ad hoc group on Mobile item identification and management in support of consumer applications convener shall be provided by Q.E.D. Systems, U.S. National Body and the ad hoc secretariat, Se-Won Oh, ETRI, Korea National Body.

Meeting arrangements for the first meeting of the Ad Hoc

In recognition of the requirement for a four month meeting notice the first meeting of the the ad hoc group on Mobile item identification and management in support of consumer applications convener shall occur in Seoul, Korea on 30-31 October 2007. The convener and ETRI shall coordinate the logistics of the meeting, to be provided with a draft agenda no later than 5 July 2007.

Establishment of new work area for mobile item identification

Includes mobile RFID, optically readable web based services, and sensor networks

Will recommend the formation of a Joint Working Group (JWG) between JTC 1/SC 31, JTC 1/SC 6, and ITU-T for areas having the interest of multiple SDOs

The FutureThe Future

The future is not a result of choices among alternative paths offered by the present, but a place that is created--created first in the mind and will, created next in activity. The future is not some place we are going to, but one we are creating.

미래는 현재에의해 제안되는 양자택일 경로사이에 선택의 아니다 결과 , 그러나 -- 첫째로 활동안에 다음 만들는 마음 및 의지안에 만들어 만들는 장소 이다 . 미래는 우리가에 가고 있는 어떤 장소가 아니다 , 그러나 우리가 만들고 있는 것 .

• Korea is, without doubt, the leading country for mobile computing, wireless networks, and sensors

• Korea’s work is being taken into the international community through SC 31 and ITU-T

• Korean ingenuity to solve the challenges yet facing ubiquitous network computing has the world waiting
