Preishuber-Pflügl[1] was a design engineer, project manager and product manager atPhilips Semiconductors, where he got involved inRFID for his diploma thesis. His work led him through the development of LF (<135 kHz), HF (13.56 MHz) and UHF (860-960 MHz)RFID products and systems.
Changing toCISC Semiconductor GmbH from 2003-2023, Preishuber-Pflügl set up the company'sRFID andNFC[2] activities and expanded the international standardization work on RFID. In 2003 he became convener ofISO/IEC JTC 1 SC31 WG3/SG1 "RFID performance and conformance test methods", which continued its work as WG4/SG6 since 2008. The group developed the performance and conformance standards ISO/IEC 18046 and ISO/IEC 18047 applicable forISO/IEC 18000RFID testing. In 2014 he became convener ofISO/IEC JTC 1 SC31 WG7 "RFID Security", which developsISO/IEC 29167. Currently, he is driver in standardization inISO/IEC,CENELEC,ETSI andGS1EPCglobal and convener ofISO/IEC JTC 1 SC31 WG4 "RF Communications" that covers RFID, RTLS, Security and related conformance and performance test methods.
In 2011 he received the IEC 1906 Award[3][4] by theInternational Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) as Expert ofISO/IEC JTC 1, Information Technology.
In 2012 he became co-author of theRFID Handbook[5][6][7] of Klaus Finkenzeller.
In the intensive discussion ofInternet of Things (IoT) and RFID he first used the term "RFID/NFC providing the last meter of the IoT", which derived from the common term "last kilometer" in infrastructure networks. The Anglo-American terms "last mile" was first used in public in his speech on "RFID and NFC: Providing the Last Yards for IoT"[8] on 8 October 2015. As input for theISO/IEC JTC 1 Plenary the respective committee SC31 used then "IoT's First Meter".
In 2019 he received the AIM Ted Williams Award,[9] followed by the highest AIM award,[10] the Richard Dilling Award,[11] in 2023.
In 2023 he founded his own company innobir e.U.[12] offering wireless technology services with the particular focus on NFC, RAIN RFID and UWB, as well as on international standardization and radio regulations.[13]
