About us

We are a key group of international partners representing Europe, the USA, China, Japan and Korea who has joined a strategic EU funded 7th Framework initiative that will look at global standards, regulatory and other issues concerning RFID and its role in realising an “Internet of Things.”

This is regarded as a global integrated intelligent infrastructure that will exploit developments in pervasive networking and interfacing with the physical world through existing and future developments in RFID and associated technologies.

It is expected that the Internet of Things will engage with today’s internet and its future development providing an integrated item intelligent world that can serve the future information and management needs of industry and commerce and the wider needs of the information society.
