MET begins EPCglobal Inc. Software Certification Testing
ADDED: 10/2/2006 8:30:00 AM
MET Laboratories has been chosen by EPCglobal to manage and perform certification testing of third party software that incorporates the EPCglobal approved Reader Protocol (RP) and Application Level Events (ALE) software standards used for managing EPC data. ALE software, which can process tag data from Gen 1 or Gen 2 EPC tags, provides an interface for filtering and consolidating EPC data from interrogators. The Reader Protocol (RP) specifies the interaction between a device capable of reading (and possibly writing) tags, and application software, including RFID tag readers supporting any combination of RF protocols, fixed and hand-held.
The first round of tests will certify whether individual ALE-based software products conform to the standard. Secondary tests will confirm whether they interoperate with other ALE middleware.
