SUMMARY:20 Years of RAIN Sensing: Legacy Knowledge for the Next Generation of IoT Standards
DESCRIPTION:“20 Years of RAIN Sensing – Legacy Knowledge for the Next Generation of IoT Standards”.\n\nThese sessions will be led by industry pioneer Jim Springer\, who has been at the forefront of wireless sensing for over two decades and has been a key contributor to the ISO and GS1 standards that shape our ecosystem.\n\n \nThe perceived “lack of standards” in RAIN RFID sensing is largely a myth: the standards do exist\, but broader market adoption depends on a clearer understanding of how they have evolved and how they can be translated into real-world solutions. \n\n\nThese sessions explore the standardization journey of sensing in RAIN RFID\, tracing over 20 years of technical evolution—from early battery-powered prototypes developed in the EU BRIDGE project to today’s ISO/IEC 18000-63 and GS1 EPC Gen2v3 sensing capabilities. \n\n\nInitiated within the RAIN Sensing Working Group\, this two-part briefing series aims to actively engage all members interested in adopting and advancing RAIN sensing with time for questions. \nWhy Join?\n\nStrategic insight: Understand how existing sensing standards connect to real-world product development and deployment.\nFuture-proofing: Gain the technical context needed to train the next generation of RAIN experts. \nEvent Schedule: \nPart 1 | The Foundations: Early solutions\, Battery Assisted Passive mode (BAP)\, and first sensor indicators\nThursday\, April 23rd | 4:30 PM CET \nPart 2 | Modern Standards: Passive sensing\, Gen2v3\, and enhanced reader support\nThursday\, May 7th | 4:30 PM CET \nMeeting Link\nThe sessions will be held via Google Meet at: https://meet.google.com/vpt-mgyx-kfs\n \n\n\nSpeaker: Jim Springer\nWith over two decades at the forefront of wireless sensing\, Jim Springer has been a key contributor to ISO and GS1 standards shaping the RAIN ecosystem. His work with EM Microelectronic and within ISO committees has helped define the architecture of modern passive sensing. \nModerated by Nicoletta Panunzio\, Radio6ense srl.
