GuardRFID: Faster Communication and Enhanced Productivity

摘要

Real-Time Location Systems, RFID, and GPS solutions belong to a family of technologies referred to as location-based services (LBS). Location-based services are leveraged in many industries - social media, manufacturing, oil and gas, retail, and healthcare. There are two types of RFID technology. The first is passive Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), which typically requires a scanner or reader and shows an object's location at 'a point in time' when a tag is close to a reader, and therefore has limited range. The other type is Active RFID, which shows an object's location in realtime using tags that are self-powered and have significantly more range (hundreds or even thousands of feet).
