I'm just waiting for the day that logistics RFID folks sit down the security RFID folks. With all the convergence going on now-a-days I have been expecting advancements any day now - but than I wasn't at ISC West so I may be missing a few things.
RFID folks Alien Technology are releasing software to use with their units that can sense distance and velocity from reader ranges of millimeters to one hundred feet. One hundred feet is not a lot of distance for the kind of security applications I have in mind - but it's a start. The technology here and the article are focused heavily on the airline industry and applications with baggage - shipping. But to me this kind of thing has multiple security industry applications as well.
I've got this one in the "keep and eye on" file.
