Heathrow prepared an RFID baggage-tracking trial
In November 2007, airport operator BAA was reported to be preparing an RFID trial for luggage tracking at Heathrow after equipment had been installed.
What the report described
The discussion stressed fit for purpose: barcodes could be adequate in some cases, while several radio systems in an airport also needed to coexist with minimal interference. BAA worked with Red-M on the wireless environment.
How to read the claim
The proposed start date remained uncertain in the report and is not converted into a completed deployment.
