Membership June 2006 • Each EPCglobal member joins once in the location of their head office 2006 EPCglobal US
Rapid growth continues • Breakdown: • End Users = 59% • Solution Providers = 41% • In 36 countries 2006 EPCglobal US
How Action Groups Work 2006 EPCglobal US
Ratified Standards from Collaborative Efforts of Global Subscribers • EPCglobal Standards are the product of the collaborative efforts of global Subscribers from many industries, who participate in EPCglobal Action & Working Groups. To date, we have ratified 5 Standards: • EPC Tag Data Standard (TDS) identifies specific encoding schemes for GS1 system keys like SGTIN, SSCC, GLN, GRAI, GIAI, DoD constructs of CAGE, DoDAAC and GID. • EPCglobal Tag Data Translation (TDT)Standard contains details of the structure and elements of machine-readable markup files and provides guidance on how it might be used in automatic translation or validation software, whether standalone or embedded in other systems. • Class 1 Generation 2 UHF Air Interface Protocol (Gen 2) Standard addresses physical and logistical requirements for passive-backscatter, Interrogator-talks-first (ITF) 860-960MHz RFID systems 2006 EPCglobal US
Ratified Standards from Collaborative Efforts of Global Subscribers • Application Level Event (ALE) Standard specifies an interface through which clients may obtain filtered, consolidated EPC data from a variety of sources. • Object Naming Service (ONS) Standard specifies how the Domain Name Server System is used to locate authoritative metadata and services associated with a given EPC Manager Number. • and provided background technical information to use in conjunction with your standards-based systems: • EPCglobal Architecture Framework: identifies the relationship between EPCglobal hardware, software, and data standardsand the EPCglobal Network components • EPCglobal Certificate Profile: defines an X.509 certificate profile for use in the EPCglobal network. 2006 EPCglobal US
Gen 2 - the global standard for UHF • Costs and Performance • Remaining regulatory issues are close to resolution • China • Europe - Frequency allocation and “Listen Before Talk” • Wide ranging feedback • Gen 2 has exceeded expectations • Gen 2 is becoming the implemented global standard (UHF) • ISO 18000-6 Type C now a published standard 2006 EPCglobal US
Rapid progress continues • 7 ratified global standards • Network and security standards (supported by Architectural Review Committee Guidelines) • Item level tagging - UHF and HF work groups • Other tag types to follow (EPCglobal is tag “neutral”) • Certification services - confident technology use 2006 EPCglobal US
