Why Bother with Standards?

• They will effect business practices throughout
  the world
• Its a virtual guarantee that you will have to
  change your business practices if you dont
  participate
• You control your own destiny if you do participate

5
Benefits of Standardization

• Increases customers confidence in new
  technologies
• Promotes world-wide RFID acceptance and
  technology advancement
• Broadens markets for manufacturers, encourages
  global competition, and reduces price for end
  users
• Facilitates applications development by
  encouraging
• interoperability and by reducing customization
• Provides development platform for complementary
• products (software, translators, hardware
  accessories)
• Standards Making the most of any new technology

Issuers of Standards

• ? International (ITU, ISO, and IEC)
• ? Regional (CEN, NAFTA)
• ? National (ANSI, CII)
• ? Industry (EIA, AIAG, TCIF, ATA, UCC)
• ? Corporate

International Organization for Standardization
(ISO)

• 118 countries participate in the ISO process, the
  real operating membership consists of 85
  countries
• The countries select a domestic organization to
  be their representative to ISO
• ANSI - United States
• AFNOR - France
• BSI - Great Britain
• JISC - Japan
• Each country gets only ONE vote

9
ANSI

• ANSI is the official U.S. member of ISO
• There are 2,856 ANSI committees
• There are 186 active technical ANSI committees
• In 1995 there were 1,676 ISO meetings not
  counting IEC, CEN, ANSI etc.
• ANSI gives accreditation to domestic
  organizations
• MHI, UCC, AIM, HL7 and others

10
The Technical Advisory Group (TAG)

• Each countrys national body assigns an
  organization to be the TAG for an SC
• ANSI has given AIM the administration
  responsibilities for the TAG to SC 31
• Each TAG sends a delegation to the SC meetings
• The Head of Delegation (HoD) votes for the TAG

Why RFID Standards?

• Promotes interoperability
• Among suppliers products both domestically and
  globally
• Among applications
• Reduces costs for all
• Manufacturers consumers
• for equipment, software, etc.
• Multi-vendor choices for transponders/receivers

35
ANSI NCITS 2561999http//www.autoid.org/ncits.ht
m

• American National Standard 256 (NCITS 2561999)
  is the RFID standard for item management.
• Completed draft standard was unanimously approved
  by the ANSI NCITS T6 committee published for
  public review and comment through July 5th no
  negative comments received NCITS Parent
  Committee approved standard 24 September 1999.
• Includes three 2.45 GHz and one UHF physical
  interfaces
• Also includes ANSI T6 developed API approved for
  use by ALL current and future ANSI-compliant RFID
  products for item management at every frequency
• (allows customers to develop software solutions
  NOW)

36
ANSI NCITS 2562001http//www.autoid.org/ncits.ht
m

• The revision of ANSI NCITS 256 (NCITS 2561999)
  to include new UHF mode and new 13.56 MHz mode
• Additional UHF mode based 915 MHz (U.S. ISM)
• International acceptability may require frequency
  hopping between 917 and 927 MHz
• 13.56 MHz mode based on ISO 15693 (SC 17 I.C.
  Card)
• Modest API enhancements
• NCITS 2562001 expected in 2nd Quarter 2001

37
ANSI NCITS 2562003http//www.autoid.org/ncits.ht
m

• Request approved for NCITS 2562003

interchangeability A condition which exists
when two or more items possess such functional
and physical characteristics as to be equivalent
in performance and durability, and are capable of
being exchanged one for the other without
alteration of the items themselves, or of
adjoining items, and without selection for fit
and performance. interoperability The
capability to communicate, execute programs, or
transfer data among various functional units in a
manner that requires the user to have little or
no knowledge of the unique characteristics of
those units. In RF tag applications, this is the
ability of any compliant tag from any
manufacturer to communicate information to any
compliant interrogator of any manufacturer. non-in
terference Components (tags, readers) of various
types or of different origins co-existing within
the same space (in conformance with established
re-use distance criteria) without having a
serious detrimental effect on one anothers
performance. Does NOT require that the
components communicate with one another as a part
of a common infrastructure, but only that they
are able to peacefully co-exist.

CEPT/ERO DSI III Recommendations

• It is recommended (that for short-range devices
  (SRDs) (including RFID) that a strategic plan be
  developed by the ERC for the frequency range
  862-870 MHz with extensive sharing possibilities.
• It is recommended that the plan should include
  the use of Spread Spectrum technology for all SRD
  applications in the 862-870 MHz in order to
  achieve the highest degree of flexibility.

44
EAN.UCC GTAG

• EAN.UCC announcement on 17 March 2000
• Recommendation of 862 to 870 MHz
• Several Meter Read Range
• 60 to 80 tags per second
• 4 Watts of Power
• UCC estimates 2 years to achieve global
  regulatory approval
• Align to MH10.8.4 recommendation (862 to 928 MHz)
  on 11 August 2000

45
ANSI MH10.8.4http//www.autoid.org/ansi_mh10sc8_w
g4.htm

• Completed Application Survey in 1999
• Application for Returnable Containers and Pallet
  tracking requires 2 to 5 meters
• Expanding EAN.UCC GTAG recommendation, MH 10
  initial draft recommends 862 to 928 MHz
• Region 2 can use 902-928 now
• As 862 to 870 MHz readers are moved into place,
  existing tags can be read
• Once the EAN lobbying effort is successful,
  market forces will move to tags with greater
  range (optimized for 866 MHz)
• Approved air interface on 27 October 2000

46
dpANS MH10.8.4
