About the Benchmark
The European RFID Reader Benchmark(TM) compares performance of the seven leading ETSI-compliant ultra high frequency (UHF) RFID readers in both a controlled laboratory setting and real world settings. The report is the first handbook to guide European end users in how to evaluate and select readers for their RFID programme. ODIN technologies does not manufacture RFID readers, tags or printers, and the company maintains strict independence in testing all RFID gear, therefore the report provides critical insight unavailable to end users any place else. The benchmark was developed to provide end users with objective insight into the RFID reader performance from a European perspective. It is complementary to previous ODIN reader benchmarks relating to readers designed for operations in the United States and provides the first scientific evaluation of European readers. Following ODIN's recent announcement of a five year contract with Airbus, this publication also reflects ODIN's growing European capabilities and focus.
