RFID and the UK

UKITA, the UK's Trade Association for ICT SME's, has recently released UK RFID (www.ukrfid.com) – a free website full of information about the emerging technology that is Radio Frequency Identification (RFID).

RFID (or tagging systems) allows businesses to tag business assets for identification, tracking, tracing, locating and control. RFID is used in Oyster Cards, Transport cards, libraries, supermarkets and many clothing retailers in the UK alone. RFID has an estimated world value at over £4 billion.

Businesses should learn about it, supply it, sell it, support it, develop it and use it. This website has lots of free research, information, advice and links, with a UK SME focus.

The website also has a UK RFID Suppliers Directory.

An RFID / Mobile Fusion Conference is being held at Staffordshire University on Wednesday 15th February 2012 – see www.ukita.co.uk

The website is part of UKITA's involvement in the RFID-ROI-SME project, funded by the European Union's ICT Policy Support Programme as part of the Competitiveness and Innovation Framework Programme.
