RFID: Solutions without a Barrier
This document discusses about RFID technology in general, its different manifestations and uses. It also explores the challenges faced by RFID industry and the plans to mitigate those issues.
Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) system carry/process data in suitable transponders, generally known as tags, and then the data is retrieved at a suitable time and place through RF means. It is sometimes called dedicated short-range communication (DSRC). The purpose of an RFID system is to enable data to be transmitted by a portable device, called a tag, which is read by an RFID reader and processed according to the needs of a particular application. The data transmitted by the tag may provide identification or location information, or specifics about the product tagged, such as price, color, date of purchase, etc. As the technology is refined, more pervasiveand invasiveuses for RFID tags are in the works.
In a typical RFID system, individual objects are equipped with a small, inexpensive tag, which contains a transponder with a digital memory chip that is given a unique electronic product code....
