RFID World Rebranded As RF Edge Expo, Set For October

  • Feb 17, 2009

United Business Media International Media (UBMi) recently unveiled The RF Edge Expo, an annual conference and exhibition formally known as RFID World, to showcase providers and automatic identification technologies such as RFID bar code, location-based, advanced sensors and mobile computing.

The event also highlights hybrid tracking technologies and tracing solutions to improve productivity and visibility throughout an enterprise.

The RF Edge Expo takes place Oct. 12-14 at the Gaylord Texan Resort in Dallas.

“RFID technology suppliers have been at the forefront of a move to expand computing power and functionality to the further edges of the enterprise network, and The RF Edge Expo reflects that trend,” said Timothy Downs, strategic director for the RF Edge business unit at UBMi. “Enterprise users and integrators require information and demonstrations of RFID, as well as other solutions. We believe our community of technology suppliers will benefit from one exhibition that showcases a wide variety of edge computing solutions to tag, track and optimize assets, people and processes.”

Aside from The RF Edge Expo 2009, UBMi also produces industry exhibitions for chemical component manufacturers, health and beauty product manufacturers, the cruise ship industry, food and pharmaceutical suppliers.

Over the years, significant advancements have been made in video coding standards — including H.263, MPEG formats, and H.264—alongside compression optimization technologies developed by IP video manufacturers to improve efficiency without sacrificing quality. The open-source AV1 codec developed by the Alliance for Open Media—a consortium including Google, Netflix, Microsoft, Amazon and others — is already the preferred decoder for cloud-based applications, and is quickly becoming the standard for video compression of all types.
