Relative Lack of Awareness of the RFID/USN

 Relative lack of awareness of functions and efficiency
 unique to RFID/USN

   Recently some improvement to awareness and increase of market
   demand, but the changes remain insufficient.
      RFID Application Interest: 30.4%(’04) →36.8%(’05)
      
    Lack of large - scale RFID/USN success story imposes much
    difficulty to introduction of RFID/USN
Issue #2

   RFID/USN Tags has high tag.

Cost burden incurred by a relatively higher price of RFID
tags than regular barcode tags

The RFID tag price has been going down by 1/ 10
                                        from U$2 to 20cents

Issue #3

Need for the extra investment

     Cost burden incurred by the establishment of new infrastructure

   Introduction of the RFID system requires the replacement or
   adjustment of the existing barcode system, incurring additional
   cost burden.

   High customizing cost for deployment because of the RFID
   technology’s dependence on wireless frequency system.

Issue #4

Relative Lack of Market Confidence on RFID

 Need to improve the market confidence on RFID technology

 900MHz- r ange RFID technology has yet to overcome its
 vulnerability to metal or liquid environment as well as speed of
 mobile entities to make application on the item label sector
 somewhat difficult.

 Related works should be promoted and supported by the
 government through the RFID General Testing Center and other
 engineering facilities in Songdo u -IT Cluster.
