Introducing the DASH7 Alliance

Bringing Balance and Vision to Active RFID Markets

Research Report

A unique alliance is forming in the active RFID market. Centered on the ISO 18000-7 standard, the DASH7 Alliance is a cross-industry initiative to expand the use of active technology in government and commercial markets. The coalition’s focus is to promote greater interoperability and reliability, but also to enable greater innovation around a common standard. While many active RFID vendors and solutions providers have been successful, ABI Research believes the active RFID segment requires greater collaboration among stakeholders – including competitors – to enable, grow, and sustain both government and commercial markets over the long term.

This Research Report introduces the Alliance and its announced participants, analyzes the Alliance’s key strategic goals, and provides ABI Research’s opinion on why the Alliance matters in today’s active RFID market.
