Finally 4 regional arab countries "Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Tunisia, United Arab Emirates" and other 16 countries started this week using the UN Universal Postal Union's new Global Monitoring System (GMS) to evaluate the quality of their letter-post service using Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) technology.
Under this from now until December 2009, in a first phase of the project, 530 independent panellists from 38 countries will send 24,000 test letters containing RFID tags through 45 postal facilities worldwide. The data collected as the test letters pass through special gates would be transmitted to the UPU and used to help postal operators identify service failures and improve operational efficiency.
