The deployment of sensor-based systems in supply chain applications often hits a wall when high-level wireless communications are added to the mix. In cargo container security and cold-chain management applications—the most mature users of supply-chain sensors—the impediment is usually cost. But this fact has not deterred wireless sensor system vendors from pursuing the market opportunity created by continued theft and growing terror threats (see Frontline Solutions' online table comparing wireless sensor products).
