RFID Network Equipment
Market Opportunities, Strategies, and Forecasts, 2005 to 2010

A centralized controller for managing dense deployments of large numbers of RFID readers, and the WLAN switch controller products are similar. These are already being used to centrally manage large numbers of lightweight WLAN access points at a site. The parallels between the two environments are striking.

Cisco Systems is the market share leader in RFID network equipment with 64% share in 2004. The company is extending participation in routing to managing the information coming off the RFID routers.

Intelligent routers are evolving a system to capture messages off the network. Huawei with 18% 2004 market share participates in the RFID network segments.

Symbol Technologies with 5% market share in 2004 is the number three participant in RFID markets. Symbol is the leader in EPC standard RFID that is the high growth segment of the market.

RFID network equipment markets at $40.7 million in 2004 are anticipated to grow in response to the need for managing and routing the information that comes fro RFID readers. The information needs to be tracked locally.

Tracking cases and asset management are dependent on information networks being in place. These applications are anticipated to drive market growth for radio frequency identification technology at an average of 67 percent to more than $3.1 billion in 2011.
