    RFID Journal Live 2023

    From the standpoint of both applications and economics, Bluetooth Low Energy and RAIN RFID technologies are rapidly converging. In short, that’s our key takeaway from the RFID Journal Live 2023 exhibition floor in Orlando last week. Bluetooth Low Energy and RAIN RFID are both AIDC (Automatic Identification and Data Capture) technologies, and, perhaps fittingly, the…

Back then, we were solving a hardware problem: offering…
