In the world of RFID, not all chips are created equal. Multiple chips are usually required to read the RFID information from different RFID chip-sources, resulting in more bulk – which is counter-productive to the trend towards lighter and slimmer handsets. So, to help make RFID a more ubiquitous technology in the mobile industry, Samsung has developed a new RFID chip reader capable of deciphering the RFID information from various RFID formats.
Samsung envisions a world where the RFID chip will become as widespread as the barcode. RFID could be used to glean bus-route schedules, movie times, prescription drug dosages, or recipes – and this new RFID chip reader from Samsung will help make that vision a reality.
There’s no word on when or in what mobile phones Samsung will be implementing their new RFID chip reader, but a Samsung spokesperson indicated that the company will wait until RFID technology matures to become a more viable market force.
