RFID Comes to Japan's Ginza

RFID

The Ginza is the big shopping district in Tokyo. Beginning in January, RFID chips posted around the area will guide those with prototype readers to train stations and share information about stores and the like. The Tokyo Ubiquitous Network Project is supported by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government and Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport (MILT) and isn't the only RFID trial in the country. Another trial embeds chips in pavement to be read by the canes of the visually impaired.

This is an significant project combining Wi Fi, Bluetooth, Internet and RFID technologies in a lifestyle application for the general public in with multi-lingual support for tourists. It’s a bold effort to push the envelope and test knowledge from lab to a real life scenario outside of normal supply chain and manufacturing environments. Worth a look at. The trial ends in March.

If you’re serious about RFID and would like to find out about the results and meet the man heading the project, Professor Ken Sakamura from Tokyo University will be presenting this case as a distinguished speaker at the RFID World Asia 2007 executive conference.

RFID World Asia 2007 is the region’s largest gathering of RFID practitioners and related professionals coming together to promote responsible RFID adoption and development with an emphasis on achieving quick ROI and sustainable business value. This premier conference and expo will be held in Singapore - April 25 - 27.
