TECH.ED delegates track by RFID

Microsoft on Monday announced plans to track Australian delegates attending its annual Tech.Ed conference in Sydney 2008 using RFID tags embedded in conference badges.
The move comes months after 50 academics, researchers and students at the University of Washington (UW) began a social networking experiment, which has seen participants voluntarily tag themselves. The system records the location of tags every 5 seconds and publishes movements to a Web page.

In Australia, human-targeted deployments of RFID tags have largely been limited to state prison systems. ACT Corrective Services in April said it had commissioned U.S. RFID provider Alanco and NEC Australia to install a Wi-Fi-compatible inmate-tracking system within its walls.
Microsoft's social experiment can take place only over the five days of the conference, although it could involve a much larger sample size than the UW experiment, with the conference typically attracting no fewer than 1,000 delegates.

The software giant will allow delegates to opt out of the tracking experiment, but they will be enticed to participate with the offer of greater access to conference information. Delegates who opt out will have standard barcodes printed on their badges instead.

The benefits promoted to delegates to partake the RFID tag experiment include access to real-time information on when sessions are filling up, the ability to see what sessions others are interested in, and tracking where Microsoft so-called MVPs (most valuable players) and regional directors are.

Microsoft will also track sessions that each delegate attends and will use that information to customize sessions, the company said in a press statement. It will also send delegates an instant record of what sessions they have attended.

The RFID tracking system took just three weeks to build and deploy, according to Microsoft.

Helveta RFID tiimber tracking

Amajor pilot of Helveta’s timber tracking software and radio frequency identification system has been completed in Malaysia. And the

Oxford-based company now predicts take-up

of its technology growing worldwide as pressure

mounts on supplier countries and individual supplier companies to verify wood legality and sustainability. The Malaysian project was carried out in a 129,143ha concession in the state of Terengganu in conjunction with the Forestry Department of PeninsularMalaysia (FDPM) and Terengganu State Forestry Department. All trees tracked through the chain of custody were tagged using one of two passive ultrahigh-frequency (UHF) tags compliant with the EPC Gen 2 and ISO 18000-6C standards. The tags were selected based on availability and form-factor criteria. One tag operated at a frequency of 860 to 960 MHz, the other at 865 to 869 MHz.

RFID tags were either stapled to a tree or log, or nailed in with a hammer, to determine the best method of attachment. None of the tags were damaged during the process, despite the fact that they lacked special protective coverings. Four RFID-enabled Teklogix Workabout handheld computers, running Helveta's CI Mobile data-capture software, were used in the field to read a unique ID reference number encoded to each tag. From there, RFID-enabled Workabout devices were utilized to confirm the ID number at the various checkpoints along the supply chain as trees were felled, and as logs were processed.

RFID document tracking

Document management systems require the reliable monitoring of important unique documents which move around in companies, public or legal offices: on desks, in shelves, in cabinets and in archives.

Only Magellan's PJM StackTag® technology is capable to identify, read and write to all RFID labeled documents when they stack without any separation – even in stacks of many hundreds.

PJM stands for Phase Jitter Modulation. It can provide fast read data rates upto 100 - 400 times faster than other rfid data rates. Hey, law firms here i come!!!

Protect Your Mobile Device!

The following are some tips for organisations and staff to protect their mobile device:

1. Keep track of mobile devices. Companies should keep track of any mobile devices that connect either directly to organisation's network or attached to an employee's computer.

2. Limit employees to mobile devices. Identify staff entitled to own mobile devices, i.e. laptops. Administrative and desktop bound workers can use a desktop computer instead of notebook. The lesser the usage of mobile devices, the lesser risk for your company.

3. Educate employees. Awareness programme should be conducted to train those staff owning mobile devices. They must know how to protect their devices for example, the use of locking devices for laptops and password requirements. Training sessions should focus on security threats and actions they need to implement to help company reduce security risks.

4. Introduce guidelines for copying data to removable device. Produce step-by-steps for employees to transfer their files to mobile devices. Most staff freely and simply move documents on portable USB thumb drives, external hard disks, and writeable CDs and DVDs and do not how to safe guard these devices.

5. Rules on usage of personal mobile devices on the premise. Impose rules on employees who bring mobile devices to workplace. Employees should also be encouraged to contact IT department if they want to access organization's applications via personal device.

6. Communicate with employees what is at stake if they lost their mobile device. Not only company's reputation is at risk, but their personal information, such as credit cards details, may be used by unauthorized person.

7. Run antivirus and firewall program on all mobile devices, as the device can introduce virus and malicious code to organisation's network. Many antivirus manufacturers nowadays support mobile devices.

8. Enforce password. Notebooks usually are easy to be equipped with passwords, but PDAs are often left without one. Employees tend to store sensitive information such as customers' name and contact numbers in PDAs, which is valuable to competitors.

UPS

Mobile technology helps UPS ensure efficiency, reliability and reduce errors in more than 200 countries. United Parcel Service Inc. (UPS) will use the first handheld computer to include built-in wireless connectivity options to ensure maximum data transmission flexibility for its extensive fleet of UPS drivers. The introduction of this wireless component will ultimately result in customers having the most up-to-the-minute tracking information available at all times. The multiple wireless connectivity options can support personal, local or wide-area networks.
Pioneer StatusUPS pioneered the use of handheld computers in the shipping industry in 1991 when it introduced the first Delivery Information Acquisition Device (DIAD). Since then, each successive generation of the device has broken new ground, opening the door to the comprehensive package tracking UPS customers enjoy today.
The fourth generation of the Delivery Information Acquisition Device, or DIAD IV, incorporates new radio communication links that allow it to communicate almost anywhere, anytime; dramatically expanded memory, and a color screen that allows alert messages to be color-coded for drivers. Each DIAD IV will feature wireless local area network connectivity (WiFi), a built-in Global Packet Radio Service (GPRS) or Code Division Multiple Access radio (CDMA) - depending on location and an acoustical modem for dial-up access. These will enable transmissions within a nearby UPS center. The device also features a Bluetooth wireless personal area network and an infrared port to communicate with peripheral devices and customer personal computers.

Mobile device security

According to a new report by Datamonitor, which is a leading provider of online data, analytic and forecasting platforms for key vertical sectors, with headquarters in London.
The report “Enterprise Mobility: Trend Analysis to 2012” also predicts global enterprise expenditure on mobile devices will grow from US$6 billion (S$8.15 billion) today to an estimated US$17 billion by 2012.

The report highlights that this kind of growth underlines the need for IT managers to begin to implement mobile device policies. “Enterprises are fighting a losing battle against employees when it comes to mobile devices and they should consider supporting a limited selection of devices rather than banning them outright”, says Daniel Okubo, technology analyst with Datamonitor and the report’s author.

According to the independent market analyst, security concerns are the largest barrier to mobility deployments. In a Datamonitor survey of 467 IT managers, Chief Information Officers and IT decision makers conducted in March 2007 to establish issues that are currently preventing enterprises from investing in mobility solutions, the majority of the 467 respondents rated security as the greatest barrier to adoption of mobility solutions. According to the study, as mobile devices like the iPhone are increasingly becoming popular among end users, enterprises are finding that employees want to be able to integrate their personal device with their corporate email account and other applications. They do not want one device for personal use and an IT issued device for work. However, according to the report, so far very few IT departments have yielded to these changing scenarios and are refusing to be responsible for managing such a wide variety of mobile devices. It also notes that the iPhone has set a new standard for device userability and the trend of ‘consumerization’ is going to continue.
