Re: [Muscle] 7-port hub ccid/pcsc-lite modifications

[Peter Williams]

At 2W of power output, the next generation of commercial RFID readers will 
be essentially  catching up to the current-2 generation of readers deployed 
by intelligence services - which easily read tagged items (i.e. credit 
cards, clothing tag, cars tires) at 5m. In the US, its about 15ft from  top 
of a traffic signal to your car tires wireless id, and the personal tags 
within.

For nuclear/chemical material tracking, the larger sensors on strategic 
highway intersections have higher power output, of course.

The DSP design for car tire id tracking should not be too burdensome. The 
layout of the road, makes sensing an issue controlled problem. People at 
gates (vs turnstiles) are a different issue; they mass. PCSCd needs to 
address these different operational deployement issues, ideally.

Peter,
Whether you used a train station gate (with your mag stripe ticket) while 
over here in the UK recently, I don't know. Odds were that it was a Cubic 
gate. Their smart card version (used in London) has a PC in each gate and 
a max of 2 readers per bi-directional gate. Their reader is a 
sophisticated DSP device.

But a football stadium is a much more interesting configuration as the 
subject of your proposal.

Peter
