* As we move from 2004 to 2005 we are on the cusp of making that transition from “make it work” to “make it manageable.”The long term success of the technology is dependent on the strategies and tools businesses use to make this transition.Keep in mind this is a natural progression.These challenges occur with every new technology.First you have to make it work at a basic level.Next, you must make it manageable and practical to implement at scale.It then becomes so valuable to your business process that it becomes essential.When the technology gets implemented everywhere in your business it becomes ubiquitous.Lastly it eventually becomes transparent – the internet is a good example of this. The five phases of evolution for RFID, illustrates the maturation of the technology.Today the focus is shifting from questions of basic functionality to questions of real business implementations.An overlaying factor of the responsible migration of RFID, is the importance of multi-protocol.Take a look at the way the industry is unfolding today.Alien is abandoning their single-protocol reader designs and attempting to resell competitor’s multi-protocol solutions.Tyco/Sensormatic and Omron are already OEM-ing multi-protocol readers.Additional competitors such as Sirit, Samsys and AWID all have announced the development of multi-protocol solutions.Here are the facts, Symbol’s efforts have been ground breaking with regards to driving the importance of multi-protocol within the industry. We were the FIRST to introduce a multi-protocol reader.We believe we have the best read performance of any multi-protocol reader in the market today – go ask our customers.There will exist a fundamental expectation, among customers, that RFID readers deployed in your stores, factories, plants, warehouses be future-proofed to read the multiple standards that will emerge as RFID adoption continues to escalate. Generation 2 offers a single standard that is expected to be adopted globally.But as we ha
