Radio Frequency Identification (RFID)






        • Use tiny tags with microchips containing data


            about an item and location




        • Tag antennas to transmit radio signals over short


            distances to special RFID readers




        • Common uses:



               – Automated toll-collection


               – Tracking goods in a supply chain



        • Reduction in cost of tags making RFID viable for


            many firms
