    While RFID deployment in the U.S. has not quite lived up to initial expectations, the trend is toward much stronger growth over the next several years. Recent developments have addressed many of the initial deployment problems and primed RFID for substantial expansion in the near future. These events include: adoption of EPCglobal's Gen-2 specification as the de facto industry standard for RFID systems operating in the UHF frequency band; notable technological innovations; and government rulemakings aimed at requiring RFID for healthcare safety and international travel.

    Asset tracking is traditionally thought of as monitoring the location of high-value assets such as hospital crash carts, reusable totes, or shipping pallets. You care about where those assets are, not because of the location itself, but because of what their location means in the context of when you’ll get the assets back. Asset tracking is all about asset management and utilization, and you want to optimize that utilization as much as possible. Hence, keeping accurate tabs on assets is vital.
