A 2005 study commissioned by CompTIA and conducted by Frost & Sullivan, a global leader in strategic growth consulting, found that just over one-half of more than 500 organizations surveyed in North America North America, third largest continent (1990 est. pop. 365,000,000), c.9,400,000 sq mi (24,346,000 sq km), the northern of the two continents of the Western Hemisphere. had either completed RFID implementations or planned to do so within the next 12 months. This included companies that are evaluating, pilot testing, implementing, or currently using RFID. While compliance with customer mandates continues to be a key market driver for implementation, organizations are increasingly exploring options for making better use of all that RFID has to offer. The CompTIA/Frost & Sullivan study found that the leading benefits companies hope to attain through RFID implementation are increased accuracy in data, improved delivery reliability, reduced waste and defects, and more supply chain visibility. The CompTIA RFID+ beta exam covers topics related to the installation, configuration and maintenance of RFID hardware and device software, including interrogation interrogation In criminal law, process of formally and systematically questioning a suspect in order to elicit incriminating responses. The process is largely outside the governance of law, though in the U.S. zone basics, testing and troubleshooting, standards and regulations, tag knowledge, design selection, installation, site analysis, RF physics, and RFID peripherals. Complete beta exam objectives are available at: http://www.comptia.org/certification/rfid/objectives.aspx. The certification is being developed with the assistance of leading organizations in the RFID market, including American RFID Solutions; the Association for Automatic Identification and Mobility (AIM Global); Briljent, LLC (Logical Link Control) See "LANs" under data link protocol.
