| Event Name: | Look at Me, I’m ILT: Passive UHF RFID Item-Level Tagging Market Opportunity Update | Listen Now! |
| Overview: | Item level tagging, or ILT, is not a new concept or application in the RFID universe. In fact, ILT was an early vision for supply chains – the ability to track RFID-enabled items from the point of manufacture to the point of sale or point of delivery. The early vision for RFID-enabled ILT, however, differed from the early reality. RFID technology, especially passive UHF, was not ready for high-volume, low-cost ILT applications largely due to cost, performance and lack of standards. That is no longer the case. ILT is now a reality in a number of industries, but the road has been long. During this QuickCast, VDC's Mike Liard discusses some of the key trends in the burgeoning ILT segment and why both vendors and solutions providers, particularly those in the passive UHF space, can no longer afford to ignore it. | |

| Event Name: | RFID Heat Index 2011/RFID Watch List for 2012 | Listen Now! |
| Overview: | VDC believes that there are several trends to watch out for in the RFID market in 2012. RFID will find its way into more, harsher, user environments which will drive innovative vertical and application solutions. NFC will go beyond payments and there will be now-term opportunities in NFC-enabled mobile advertising, infotainment, loyalty and access platforms for mobile devices. During this QuickCast, VDC's Mike Liard discusses these and other key trends for 2012 and takes a look back at few of the hottest trends and topics for RFID in 2011. | |

| Document Title: | What’s Behind the Forward Momentum in the Early 2012 RFID Market? | |
| Publication Date: | Feb, 2012 | |
| Excerpt: | While vendors, solutions providers and end-users showed signs of economic caution throughout 2011, optimism remained. The RFID market was a bit slow to start amid economic woes in 2011; however, VDC Research’s conversations with vendors and solutions providers became more positive in the second half – the market was growing, orders were still being placed and user interest was picking up across all industries and technology areas (core RFID, contactless, NFC and RTLS). In instances where funding was already allocated and the business case was solid, projects moved ahead as planned. Overall, 2011 continued the forward momentum for both RFID solutions providers and the user community; and 2012 is not any different. | |
