Lowry Computer Products And OTA Training Partner To Offer Hands-On RFID Training And RFID+ Certification

Lowry Computer Products, Inc., a leading provider of wireless, RFID, bar code and data collection solutions, announced an agreement with OTA Training to offer OTA's Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) training and certification programs at Lowry's RFID Laboratory located at its Corporate office in Brighton, Michigan. OTA Training creates comprehensive vendor-neutral, hands-on training programs in RFID technology, which are offered through partner RFID facilities.

"Our partnership with OTA Training, a global leader in RFID education, is an important element in Lowry's offering to our customers in the consumer goods industry who are responsible for complying with RFID mandates from retailers such as Wal-Mart, Target, Best Buy and also the U.S. government," said Mike Lowry, President and CEO of Lowry Computer Products. "Although many customers read all the white papers, articles, and manuals written about RFID technology, they basically have no hands-on experience with the actual RFID hardware and software that make up a successful RFID implementation. We're here to help them out."

"We are very pleased to have Lowry Computer Products on board as a training facility in Michigan for our comprehensive RFID training programs," said Robert Sabella, OTA Training's Founder and President. "Lowry's new state-of-the-art RFID lab is a perfect venue to continue our best-of-breed approach to training. Together we will be able to bring RFID training to not only Lowry's extensive customer base, but also to all those throughout the region that will be implementing RFID in their facilities."

A significant advantage of OTA Training's RFID curriculum is that it is completely vendor neutral. Those who complete the training programs in Lowry's RFID facility will not be limited to just one solution, but will learn about a full range of RFID products available from all of the leading manufacturers. Participants will perform extensive hands-on exercises and learn about various RFID tags, optimal tag placement on cases and pallets, read ranges, business process, data management and all the essentials needed for a successful RFID implementation. As an added benefit, OTA Training's curriculum is designed to help participants achieve their RFID+ certification and become a CompTIA® RFID+ Certified Professional (CRCP).
