In order for RFID to successfully penetrate into large open systems, RFID interoperability is a necessity. Not only must tags from any vendor be able to communicate with readers from any vendor, but a given tagged object must be able to be identified by readers of any user in a wide variety of application conditions. As a key first step the Center has developed protocol standards. Protocol standards, however, are not enough – information about product capabilities, expected levels of performance, and assurance that products, if applied correctly, will be interoperable, are also necessary. A properly designed compliance and certification program can address these issues and lay the groundwork for ensuring RFID interoperability. This paper describes the relevant elements of an RFID system implementation and presents options and recommendations for a compliance and certification program for the Center.
At www.llrp.org, developers and reader vendors can find LLRP libraries in C, C#, Java, Perl and a Wireshark Dissector. These libraries significantly simplify control and configuration of LLRP readers.
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".
