Sun, which offers RFID middleware based on its open Java Enterprise System and is developing auto-ID products, hopes to cater to tier one suppliers as well as others that need to ramp up RFID capabilities. Its RFID test center will offer consulting expertise and run simulations for actual systems. To ratchet up its technical expertise, Sun is working with several RFID equipment suppliers, including Matrics, Tyco and Applied Wireless Identification Group (AWID). It also has Wal-Mart's full cooperation for the project.
