Barbados implements RFID technology for secure WC final

Last year, the government of Germany implemented RFID technology in the FIFA World Cup 2006, as part of the security measure and got the result. Now, same thing is happening with the ICC Cricket World Cup 2007.

According to an RFID Journal story, Barbados is implementing RFID technology to ensure security for the final match of the ongoing mega cricketing event. The final match will be held on Saturday, 28 April.

The Port of Bridgetown in Barbados has joined hands with AXCESS to deploy an integrated RFID and sensor system to keep a vigilant eye at the vehicles and people that pass through the port to reach the venue.
The port authorities will use AXCESS ActiveTag, wireless sensors, underwater cameras that work in concert to detect and manage security threats.
During FIFA World Cup, the organizers used RFID technology in the tickets to obtain all vital data regarding the seat number, sponsor of the game and personal information of the ticket holder.
