… “The read range of passive UHF RFIDS tags has quadrupled in past 3 years, meaning that UHF devices can now see objects at distances from millimeters to tens of meters.
Read rates have increased from 200 to 1200 tags per second and read accuracy is near 100%.
The cost of Passive RFIDS tags has decreased by a factor of 5 over the same period.
Functionality is also expanding.
In addition to reading a unique ID, UHF devices can remotely query the state, e.g., temperature of an object, determine its direction of travel and velocity, and can even turn on and off devices connected to the tag. “ …
