4.0 out of 5 stars Manager's Book, November 3, 2006

By 

A. K. (Vienna, VA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: RFID Implementation (Hardcover)

This book is excellent for Managers as it provides high level introduction to RFID, also recommended for beginners who are new to RFID. This book provides a good insight on how to conduct a RFID pilot/project.

It is not a technical persons or engineers book. The book briefly covers all the important aspects of RFID from Physics to Middleware integration and therefore making it a great first RFID book.
