Security Services Inc., a unit of Tyco Fire & Security, today
introduced the Sensormatic(R) SensorID(TM) RFID Launch package
aimed at providing consumer goods manufacturers with a complete and
upgradeable solution for meeting the January 2005 RFID
implementation goals set by Wal-Mart and other leading retailers.
The Sensormatic RFID Launch package includes readers, antennas,
software and tags as well as product training and services,
including a site survey, on-site installation and technical
support. The Launch package is based upon version 1.0 EPC Global
Standards. EPC Global is an organization comprised of leading firms
and industries focused on creating global standards to support the
use of RFID technology. "ADT's Sensormatic RFID solutions portfolio
provides customers with leading technology from Tyco Fire &
Security coupled with the strength and depth of ADT's strong sales
and service presence throughout the United States," Randy Dunn,
ADT's director of RFID Sales and Marketing, said. "This combination
gives ADT stability and strength unmatched by others in the
industry." Last year, Wal-mart, the world's largest retailer, set a
deadline of January 1, 2005, for its top 100 suppliers to begin
placing RFID tags on all cases and pallets. The Sensormatic RFID
Launch package, developed by Tyco Fire & Security's RFID group,
is a scaleable solution that includes all necessary hardware,
software and services that manufacturers will need for a cost
effective solution to meet RFID compliance deadlines of certain
retailers. "This integrated package simplifies the RFID
implementation process for manufacturers," Dunn said. "The RFID
Launch package provides everything a manufacturer needs to
undertake an RFID program now and has the ability to be upgraded in
the future, preserving today's investment." Last year ADT and Tyco
Fire & Security formed a team of companies specializing in
