Overview:

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is a wireless data collection technology developed during World War II that has been used in tracking and accessing applications for about a decade. The technology transfers data wirelessly between a tiny transceiver and a tag. A tag is a combination of an electronic transponder with an antenna that can be attached to items such as a razor blade, an infusion pump in a hospital, a bottle of soda or a military tank. When the tag comes within the range of the transceiver, anywhere from inches to nearly three hundred feet, the transceiver decodes the information electronically programmed on the tag.
