RE: The reasons this is BIGJB:
I believe the reason why SMY was selected has more to do with the future utility of RFID and our readers ability to meet Gen 2 requirements. Company's as large as Metro will be looking with a broader vision to maximize profitability over the long-term not simply a "RFID in a box" approach to usher in a new technology. I suspect the Metro's and Walmart's of the world are drooling over the potential utility of item-level tracking and smart-shelves that will unfold with the RFID evolution. The higher end functionality of the SMY reader likely provides the current attraction, notwithstanding, protocols to meet European standards. Agility is one thing, but scaleability is another and we are already at the leading edge on this front. Regards, Canuck
