Alien Technology Corporation, a leading provider of reliable, high-volume Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) products, announced today it has entered into an agreement with EPC Solutions International Inc. to provide EPC Class 1 RFID products and training to the Chinese market.

The initial joint activities will include creating an RFID demo center in China. Alien(R) and EPC Solutions also plan to develop a joint education program based on Alien's acclaimed RFID Academy to inform and educate Chinese companies about RFID.
