Gen2 approval is huge and complex,. Study well

The more you know about Gen2 the more awesome it appears. Many fence-sitting end-users will now get ready for the rollouts.
Of course Gen2 does not change the physics and core essentials of RFID. Also, watch out for the "We are Gen2 compliant" sales pitches - there are many levels to Gen2 and detailed review will provide its rewards. Finally, despite Gen2, don't throw out ISO or 13.56 as possibilities - in Near Field Communication (NFC) applications, for instance, there's nothing else that works.
