RFID, THE FUTURE OF TECHNOLOGY

Cisco systems and T-Systems have announced a relationship that focuses on harnessing advanced technologies. This step aims at improving cost efficiencies and productivity for large and medium-sized businesses.

The two companies are working together to provide a range of services like IP, LAN. They are also working at developing solutions for vertical markets such as financial services and radio frequency identification solution for the transport and retail sectors in Germany.

Both the companies would cooperate in areas of marketing, sales and business development over the next three years. Tailor made packages would be made to provide feature IP-based networking solutions integrated with value-added services such as IP communications and security to medium-sized businesses.

The integrated RFID solution developed by the two companies would help the transport and the retail sector.
