Skill Shortage Knocks Down Global RFID Business'
Growth
Scarcity of professionals well versed in radio frequency identification (RFID) technology is a major problem that global IT Industry is encountering today. The affect of this shortage is going to be on the adoption of this technology, cautioned CompTIA's (Computing Technology Industry Association) senior official at - RFID Connect Asia 2007, held in Singapore during the first week of March 2007.

Michael Mudd, Asia-Pacific director of public policy for the industry
body, says that there're less than 1,000 skilled professionals available
throughout the globe having expertise in RFID deployment and service.
Mudd said that in comparison to numerous technicians with a CompTIA,
Cisco Systems or other IT vendor certification, and expertise in
troubleshooting servers or PCs, the number of skilled RFID workers
available currently is pretty low. BusinessWeek.com published this
statement on March 13, 2007.
Preliminary results of a survey conducted by CompTIA in February this
year (2007) collected the responses of 56 industry group members, and
69.6% of them agreed that the shortage of talented pool in RFID would
adversely influence the adoption of this technology.
Mudd further said that for successful execution of any RFID
initiative, certified and talented professionals with expertise and
experience in the engineering & design of radio frequency, SCM (Supply
Chain Management), warehouse management, logistics, and know-how in RFID
standards and products are the need of the hour.
As per RNCOS report on "RFID: Outlook China", "In comparison to
developed nations, the technology & adoption of RFID in China is still
in its infancy particularly in ultra-high frequency (UHF) applications.
Furt hermore, China doesn't hold competency in core technologies in chip
manufacturing, design, antenna design, equipments and packaging etc. But
this wouldn't act as major obstacle in the growth of China's RFID
industry."
This research report on "RFID: Outlook China" analyzes the global
RFID scenario and the position of China with respect to the global
market. Issues discussed in this report include: applications and
opportunities associated with RFID, Chinese government policies towards
RFID such as Standard development, frequency allocation etc and their
impact on RFID development in China, challenges to RFID industry, etc.
