| Event Name: | Look at Me, I’m ILT: Passive UHF RFID Item-Level Tagging Market Opportunity Update | Listen Now! |
| Overview: | Item level tagging, or ILT, is not a new concept or application in the RFID universe. In fact, ILT was an early vision for supply chains – the ability to track RFID-enabled items from the point of manufacture to the point of sale or point of delivery. The early vision for RFID-enabled ILT, however, differed from the early reality. RFID technology, especially passive UHF, was not ready for high-volume, low-cost ILT applications largely due to cost, performance and lack of standards. That is no longer the case. ILT is now a reality in a number of industries, but the road has been long. During this QuickCast, VDC's Mike Liard discusses some of the key trends in the burgeoning ILT segment and why both vendors and solutions providers, particularly those in the passive UHF space, can no longer afford to ignore it. |

| Event Name: | Barcode Market Still Thinking Linear-ly | Listen Now! |
| Overview: | A lot has been written and said about growing interest in and adoption of 2D imaging solutions. Rapidly declining prices coupled with the need to support a wider range of 2D symbologies & applications across vertical markets and installation environments are some of the primary factors driving this growth. This has, however, resulted in the spotlight being taken away from the 1D imaging marketplace. During this QuickCast, VDC's Richa Gupta outlines the growing market opportunity for linear imagers and what we see as some of the primary drivers for their adoption across the globe. |

| Event Name: | RTLS Adoption: Start Small, Finish Big | Listen Now! |
| Overview: | There's a new trend in the world of RTLS, and it's all about starting small. The start small, finish big concept is based first and foremost on actual customers’ first experience with RTLS. We found out that those customers who initially adopted RTLS to resolve a very limited number of business issues in a smaller, more focused pilot or deployment with less complex systems typically budgeted more for their solutions, became committed to the solution faster, were able to achieve their ROI faster than expected and began scaling and expanding their solutions faster. During this QuickCast, VDC's Drew Nathanson talks about the benefits vendors can reap from this new approach, including the key factors that will help your company finish big. |

| Event Name: | NFC & the Consumer: How & Why it's Used | Listen Now! |
| Overview: | While consumer adoption of NFC remains relatively limited on a global scale, what is promising is that those who are using the technology want to keep using it, and for broader application sets. If NFC is to fulfill the significant market potential it has, stakeholders beyond the consumer population—including suppliers, developers and B2C enterprises must nurture the interest consumers have demonstrated in the technology so far. During this QuickCast, VDC's John Shuster provides some food for thought for those in the supplier, developer and B2C communities in regards to fostering growth in consumer-level NFC adoption and discuss some of the major findings from VDC’s recent survey of consumer end users of NFC. |
