And there are benefits to this barcode technology for industries other than marketing. In the medical field, barcode technology is proving to reduce prescription and medication administration errors, making patient care safer. As pertains to education, Tele.ring, a VMNO with T-Mobile Austria , tapped into NeoMedia's 2D mobile barcode capabilities in order to introduce students to the concept of mobile barcode reading. Students had the opportunity to download the NeoReader for free and scan the QR codes that appeared on the posters, where they could access free mobile content such as ring tones and wallpapers.

Subway may be the first fast-food chain to utilize 2D barcode technology. - Go Kiosk by the Kiosk Industry Group
