RFID Journal Names Europe Editor
Jonathan Collins is based in London and will cover RFID deployments and issues in Europe.
(PRWEB) June 20, 2005 -- RFID Journal has named Jonathan Collins its
full-time Europe editor, based in London. Collins, a native of the United
Kingdom, will cover radio frequency identification deployments and issues
throughout Europe.
"One of the major applications of RFID technologies is
to track goods through the global supply chain, so it's important to cover the
technology globally," says Mark Roberti, founder and editor of RFID Journal. "We
have run many case studies on European companies and covered regulatory and
other issues aggressively. Having a full-time person in Europe enables us to
serve our very large audience there, as well as the needs of readers in other
regions who want to keep abreast of what’s happening in Europe."
Collins
was previously RFID Journal's senior editor, based in New York. He has covered
RFID technologies full-time longer than any other journalist aside from Roberti.
He comes to his new position with extensive knowledge of and contacts within
Europe’s RFID community.
"The situation in Europe is unique in that many
companies within the region have used RFID extensively, but regulatory issues
make deploying UHF technologies difficult," says Collins. "I look forward to
covering the leading early adopters and continuing to show how and where
different RFID technologies—passive UHF, HF and LF tags, active tags and
advanced wireless sensors—can benefit companies today and in the
future."
In addition to covering RFID throughout Europe, Collins will be
participating in RFID Journal LIVE! Europe, RFID Journal's world-class executive
conference, which will be held in Amsterdam, Oct. 10 to 12. "We have already
lined up many of the top implementers of RFID technology in Europe," says
Collins. "I look forward to moderating interactive panels in which end users
will be able to get answers straight from the companies that have already
benefited from different types of RFID technologies and are struggling with
issues surrounding the deployment of UHF Electronic Product Code
technologies."
Collins brings more than 10 years' experience to the
position. Before joining RFID Journal, he was a senior editor at CMP
Media.
