I am Kalyan, and I am a development lead in the BizTalk RFID group at Microsoft.
In this blog, I will attempt to provide some technical insights into Microsoft BizTalk RFID. Whether you are a developer building a solution on top of BizTalk RFID, or a hardware provider developer building a device provider for BizTalk RFID, or a system administrator managing a BizTalk RFID deployment, I hope you would find the content useful.
Microsoft BizTalk RFID was released as part of Microsoft BizTalk Server 2006 R2 in Sep 2007.
