RFID at a glance

Why RFID?1. SOLUTION - customers across the globe are transitioning to RFID basedprocesses to enable solutions to their existing business challenges.2. INNOVATION – innovation is the engine of Motorola’s success and RFID isa truly innovative technology.3. TRANSFORMATION – RFID enables a transformational change in regard tohow Motorola’s customers do business.4. PRODUCTIVITY – RFID provides a path to exponential increases inproductivity.5. EXPANSION – RFID opens up new markets and revenue opportunities forMotorola and our partners.RFID is providing increased automation and operationalefficiency…it is one of the top priorities of our company.- Greg Brown, CEO, Motorola Solutions, July 2011

LLRP Low Level Reader ProtocolWhat is LLRP?• It stands for Low Level Reader Protocol, defined by the EPC Global organization• It is the open standard protocol that defines communication interface betweenreaders and applications.•It is a message-oriented protocol‣ Messages from the Client to the Reader include:Getting and setting configuration of Readers, reader’s capabilities discovery,andmanaging the inventory and access operations‣ Messages from the Reader to the Client include:Reporting of Reader status, inventory and access results, and variousevents• It is the standard RFID interface to Motorola mobile as well as Motorola fixedreaders
