Market Wire: WESTFORD, MA--(Marketwire - August 11, 2009) - Reva Systems, the leading RFID infrastructure provider, today announced that its Tag Acquisition Processor (TAP) product family was selected as the RFID infrastructure solution for an international RFID rollout by the Universal Postal Union (UPU).
The UPU's Global Monitoring System (GMS) will begin with 21 member countries deploying RFID to measure mail-service quality between participating nations. With headquarters in Berne, Switzerland, the UPU sets rules for international mail exchanges and helps to ensure an accessible, efficient, and high quality global network of modern postal communications.
The GMS will be launched this month, beginning with the insertion of RFID tags into test letters measuring the time taken to deliver mail. This data will be sent to the central information management system operated by the UPU's International Bureau and could be used to calculate terminal dues.
