WiBro-Based Mobile RFID Service Development

Radio frequency identification (RFID) is a technology that recognizes information and circumference environment from tags attached to objects via wireless technology, and provides various services such as location tacking, supply chain management. The mobile RFID technology which uses this RFID technology gives mobility to the RFID leader and makes it possible to exchange information between the users and objects whenever or wherever it is needed. The KT introduced the portable Internet service (WiBro) into commercial service as a new growth engine. WiBro is the wireless Internet service which enables a high speed Internet even while moving. Based on WiBro, Korea Telecom (KT) is also developing a new concept WiBro RFID service, combining the WiBro network and the mobile RFID. In this paper, we introduce a mobile RFID service platform and some prototype services based on wireless broadband (WiBro) network.
