The Sun RFID and Sensor Community is a group of developers working together to make object identity and physical attributes available as practical components of working applications.

Radio frequency identification establishes the identity of things. Sensors discover their attributes. The challenge is to associate both kinds of information in a way that results in pertinent action.

To be successful, software capable of collecting, filtering and distributing RFID and sensor data at the network edge is needed. Sun Microsystems is making the Sun Java System RFID Software freely available as a commercial-grade platform capable of providing the foundation for these applications.

It is clear that successful approaches will be the work of many hands. Join the Sun RFID and Sensor Community. Discover more about installing, configuring and integrating the Sun Java System RFID Software. Find the resources to bootstrap your development. Ask the experts and share your experience for creating world class applications. All members of the Sun RFID developer community are invited to participate.
