Developing standards

Today, EPCglobal is continuing to drive the standards process by announcing the formation of two new standards development working groups; one focused on creating an EPCglobal Generation 2 standard for HF brands for addressing the needs of healthcare sector applications. The two specific groups being formed are the HF Air Interface Working Group and the UHF Air Interface Working Group. The HF Working Group will focus on extending the logic and technology into HF that is today part and parcel of the existing UHF Gen2 standard.
