POS Malaysia using RFID

For Pos Malaysia, the Global Monitoring System (GMS) trial will not be its first RFID project. Han Chum Choy, head of international and regulatory affairs at Pos Malaysia, told ZDNet Asia the organization has previously implemented a mail monitoring system between government departments in Putrajaya, which used passive RFID tags.
The postal agency, she added, intends to extend the use of RFID beyond the GMS trial. "Pos Malaysia plans to use RFID for part of its domestic mail service measurement," she said in an e-mail. "The initiative is still in conceptual and planning stage."
For the GMS trial, there will be 34 panelists located in five Malaysian cities, who are expected to
receive some 3,800 test letters. Pos Malaysia handles an average annual inbound mail volume of 1,158 tons.
