Where is RFID money going?

If you want to know where emerging companies and their backers think the RFID industry is going, follow the money. Active RFID and RTLS providers captured about 38 percent of the estimated $433.6 million in private investment that flowed into the RFID industry in the last 18 months, an analysis by RFID Update found. That made active RFID and RTLS the top-funded segment, an unofficial title it probably wrested from passive UHF, which includes EPCglobal Gen2 technology.
