Pending California RFID Legislation
Thursday, June 15, 2006
AIM Global
Even as a "common sense" approach to RFID legislation is being considered by the California legislature, new legislation to put RFID "on hold" for state-issued ID cards is moving through the California legislature. The California Assembly Judiciary Committee has approved two different bills (SB 433 and SB 1078) that would put a three-year moratorium on the use of RFID for state-issued IDs. SB 433 applies to driver's licenses and SB 1078 applies to student identification cards. The California Senate previously approved both bills.
AIM is looking into the details of this legislation and will provide ongoing coverage of this legislation -- but three issues have already surfaced.

Tagging the Dream(liner)
Tuesday, October 25, 2005

On October 3, The Boeing Company announced plans to introduce radio frequency identification (RFID) smart labels on maintenance-significant parts of the 787 Dreamliner, its newest passenger aircraft. According to the news release, "RFID technology will improve configuration control and help airlines reduce costs by managing part maintenance and repair histories."
Boeing startled some in the RFID industry by stating flatly that the smart labels they require will not be the "ordinary" ISO 18000-6C (Gen2 UHF) tags. They'll have to be metal-mountable and tested against extreme fluctuations in temperature and pressure. And they'll need 128 kilobits of user memory.
Boeing also made another startling announcement. All Boeing divisions have joined EPCglobal. For those conversant with current aerospace coding conventions, this revelation raises a lot of questions.
