Dr. Landt is one of the world’s foremost authorities on wireless radio frequency identification (RFID) communications and one of the original scientists from Los Alamos National Laboratories that developed RFID technology for the federal government. His experience with RFID systems spans more than three decades. As TransCore’s chief scientist, Landt is responsible for guiding the technical development of RFID systems and investigating other technologies of interest to TransCore.
