SYNOPSIS: iAnywhere will work with partners, customers, and the general
RFID developer community to deliver a broad range of resources that
facilitates the growth of RFID development skills and improves understanding
of RFID technology and its real world applications.
CHICAGO, Sept. 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- FRONTLINE SOLUTIONS CONFERENCE
& EXPO -- iAnywhere, a subsidiary of Sybase, Inc. (NYSE: SY), today announced
the launch of a new web-based resource center for RFID developers. The site
can be accessed from http://www.ianywhere.com/rfid and aims to deliver the
software, tools, and educational content necessary to advance RFID development
capabilities in the market and bring them to the mainstream. Tapping into the
internal expertise within Sybase and iAnywhere as well as across its
technology partners, RFID Insider will focus on the RFID technologies germane
to commercial applications and will assist visitors in gaining an inside view
into the issues, standards, and alternatives that impact RFID projects.
"As a technology, RFID holds tremendous promise for improving
productivity, quality, and safety across many industries," said Martyn
Mallick, product director, iAnywhere. "A major inhibitor to progress,
however, is the immaturity and complexity of the technology involved.
Standards are evolving rapidly and there are new dimensions to the problems
being solved that are unfamiliar. We hope to shed some light on the issues
and provide answers to developers interested in producing quality RFID
solutions."
For those new to RFID, the site will feature a Getting Started section
with basic information delivered in a variety of ways including white papers,
Flash animations, and webcasts. A Developer Community will provide more in-
depth and advanced information to registrants. Of special note, iAnywhere
will make available a fully-functional Developer edition of its software
product RFID Anywhere(TM) 2.0 (see separate announcement, "LATEST RELEASE OF
RFID ANYWHERE FROM iANYWHERE BRINGS ENTERPRISE-CLASS MANAGEMENT AND SECURITY
TO RFID DEPLOYMENTS") in the fourth quarter of 2005. The Developer edition
will allow the actual development of RFID prototype solutions that can be
tested using the product's data simulator, without requiring hardware or
physical RFID readers and tags. Interested parties can qualify for early
access by registering within the Developer Community
(http://www.ianywhere.com/rfid). Other content planned for the Developer
Community includes:
-- A range of industry and technology white papers addressing common
challenges encountered in RFID projects along with recommended
solutions
-- A newsgroup allowing community members to interact with each other as
well as with Sybase and iAnywhere experts
-- A slate of technical webcasts and software tutorials
-- Product documentation and demos for RFID Anywhere
