This paper presents the scope of work and the defined deliverables for the Auto-ID Center UHF Identity Tag Action Group. The Auto-ID Center UHF Identity Tag Action Group is charged with developing a reader-tag communication protocol operating in the Ultra High Frequency (UHF) frequency range. The protocol must be designed to operate in the 860MHz–930MHz frequency range and the 2.45GHz ISM (Industrial, Scientific, Medical) band. The protocol must operate as part of an identification procedure for higher functionality tags. Furthermore, the protocol must be targeted to allow for a minimum usable identification rate of 100 tags per second under all regulatory environments allowing RFID operation in the targeted UHF frequency ranges. The overriding constraint placed on the protocol is that it will place a minimum monetary cost burden on the tag and reader implementations. In other words, the protocol must enable the implementation of compliant ultra low-cost tags and low-cost readers that provide usable performance levels.
After a trademark dispute, the EPC Prototyping Platform is now called "Fosstrak" (previously Accada). Fosstrak stands for "free and open source software for track and trace".
