GS1 EPCglobal has ratified the Low-Level Reader Protocol (LLRP) standard which provides a standardised protocol for multiple RFID readers.
The LLRP standard will increase reader interoperability and create the foundation for solution providers to extend basic capabilities in response to industry-specific requirements.
This new standard, produced by the EPCglobal Reader Operations Working Group, defines a high-performance, flexible and extensible interface for operating network-connected RFID readers. The protocol is the result of collaboration between over 90 companies including end users, RFID infrastructure vendors, middleware vendors, industry experts, and networking professionals.
