RFID Plugtests

A Plugtests event focussing on RFID technology will be held from 21-23 May. This event will be jointly organized by ETSI, FP7 PROBE-IT project and CPqD and will be held at the CPqD facilities in Campinas, Brazil.
This Plugtests event aims to promote the RFID European standards to the Brazilian community and to test different scenarios in a real RFID environment. The tests will focus on three main areas:

• a comparison between the FHSS method of operation used in the Americas and the four channel plan adopted by Europe,
• a demonstration by ETSI of the operation of a DAA technique (developed by ETSI TC ERM TG34) which has been designed to enable RFID to share the same frequency band as a primary user and
• an assessment of a typical Brazilian application involving the movement of tagged goods on a conveyor

On 23 May a workshop entitled ‘IoT Today, Tomorrow and Way Forward’ will be organized by PROBE-IT and the Forum de Competitividade de IoT where ETSI and CPqD will present the results and findings of the Plugtests event.

This event is supported by the European Commission.
