2009 RFID predictionsby Patrick J Sweeney II :
Three reader manufacturers go away – See point two – too many reader makers. Alien will get bought, Feig will exit the market and Sirit will get bought, possibly in an asset sale. Why? Point one covers Alien or possible Cisco buys Sirit. Feig has a poor product and terrible customer service. The market is too competitive for clients to put up with bad service and a bad product. Sirit has a small portion of the electronic vehicle registration (EVR) market and won’t see meaningful impact from the Department of Defense (DoD) passive RFID IDIQ until September, so at their stock price today it’s a bargain for one of their competitors to buy their R&D and contracts.
