More RFID news:
Intermec Inc. has been selected to provide the Gen 2 RFID (radio frequency identification) bag tag printer system for the Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA) in Hong Kong. HKIA is the first airport in the world to implement an end-to-end RFID baggage tagging/sorting system.
The Intermec RFID Gen 2 printers will be installed at check-in counters to further enhance the existing RFID baggage sorting system, which was first installed in 2005.
The bag tags will be attached to all check-in baggage, which then will be sorted and loaded according to the RFID data. Intermec will install and provide service for the new printer system, as well.
No small win (or small job) for Intermec: Hong Kong International Airport is the world's fifth busiest international passenger airport and runs the world's busiest air cargo operation. Almost 41 million air passengers traveled through HKIA in 2005. Known as Asia's "superhub," HKIA hosts more than 80 airlines, linking Hong Kong with more than 140 destinations around the globe.
