UP students win P100K startup prize for RFID project
MANILA, Philippines -- A team of the engineering students from state university UP Diliman won P100,000 in prize money for developing a technology that uses radio frequency identification or RFID technology.
Called Philippine Emerging Startups Open (PESO) Challenge, the contest aims to encourage schools to develop viable technology-driven business ideas.
RFID uses wireless signals to transmit information from tiny tags that can be embedded in just about everything. The technology shows a lot of promise for various industries from retail to nanotechnology because of its various applications.
UP's Team RFIDSP designed an RFID architecture called "Luna" reader modules using digital signal processing (DSP) techniques.
