Alien Technology Corporation
Observations on EPC Class 1 Generation 2 Status
November, 2003

The earliest organization overseeing this process was the Auto ID Center, a consortium of thought leaders in RFID technology that guided the development of RFID standards based on customer needs. While other classes of RFID emerged over time, Class 1 RFID tags were considered to be the preferred standard, as they provided the flexible, open platform that is the backbone of the electronic product code (EPC) system. Specifically, Class 1 tags are open tags, ready for programming by the customer at the time of deployment. This is opposed to other classes of tags that might be pre-programmed by the vendor during manufacturing, which greatly reduces efficiency and flexibility for the customer.

I have quite a few friends that work at Alien Technology. Hopefully, they will go public soon.

The title suggests that we are using Alien Technology to super shrink our "jar heads." I wonder if they just throw them out or they parachute in??
