How RFID will benefit from Beijing Olympics 2008

Filed in archive Sports on May 16, 2008

With beijing olympics 2008 just a couple of months away this will be first time ever that RFID technology will be implemented at Olympic Games. A whopping sixteen million RFID embedded tickets will be sold during the games. So how will RFID help the cause of games and spread of technology?

Firstly it will take care of counterfeiting of tickets which could have been the cause of major loss of revenue for China and the fear is something which needs to be taken note of since China is one of the biggest producers of imitation or fake products in the world and the Chinese Olympic Committee certainly understand its repercussions.

Secondly this major event will help in spreading education about RFID which up till now has suffered on account of lack of awareness of the technology.

Thirdly this will lead to generation of business opportunities for the RFID industry in China and other countries not just before but even after curtains fall on the event.

Last but not the least these RFID tickets will be environment friendly too as they will be created using recyclable paper and silver ink.

All the best RFID!!!
