Active RFIDs Are On The Rise

摘要

Active radio-frequency identification (RFID) is responsible for an increasing percentage of the money spent in the RFID market. It will rise from 10 percent of the total RFID market this year to 24 percent in 2019, which translates into a $6.74-billion market. The term Active RFID incorporates many technologies including Real Time Locating Systems (RTLSs) and wireless (or ubiquitous) sensor networks. At the heart of such systems are ZigBee, RuBee, Ultra Wide Band (UWB), WiFi, and other wireless technologies.
