Reva Systems develops radio-frequency identification (RFID) network infrastructure products that enable customers to rapidly deploy scalable solutions in any environment. Reva's standards-based Tag Acquisition Processor (TAP) appliances facilitate improved system performance, manageability and security while significantly lessening implementation time and complexity. Reva products are delivered by a global network of partners and deployed worldwide across a range of innovative applications spanning industries such as Aerospace, Contract Manufacturing, Discrete Manufacturing, Consumer Packaged Goods, Retail, Consumer Electronics, Logistics, and Healthcare/Life Sciences. Founded in 2004, and headquartered in Chelmsford, Mass., Reva's global customers are leaders in their industries.

The proliferation of RFID is inevitable as the promise of commercial benefits across industries is realized. With the number of network-connected readers deployed globally projected to grow beyond 100 million within the next decade, the RFID reader is poised to become the most numerous and densely deployed device in the enterprise networks of leading corporations around the world. To date, RFID pilots have typically been limited in scale and require custom implementation. As RFID moves into multiple-application, enterprise-wide deployments, the ability to scale rollouts is critical.

Reva applies proven networking principles similar to those employed in LANs, wireless LANs, and storage-area networks (SANs) to integrate RFID operations with existing enterprise infrastructure for rapid, repeatable, and reliable RFID deployments. By adding a layer of networking intelligence to local networks of RFID readers and tags, Tag Acquisition Processors (TAPs) enable scalable, enterprise-wide RFID adoption, accelerating RFID technology investments as the RFID marketplace drives to meet next-generation requirements.
