Radio frequency identification (RFID) systems evolved as a way to provide
all the benefits of visual scanning systems, while overcoming many of their
limitations. Radio frequency (RF) describes electromagnetic waves in the
10 kHz to 10 GHz range. Electronic identification (ID) systems transfer
data messages from an object to be identified to a data management sys-
tem. RFID systems use radio frequency to transfer data between an item
being tracked and a reader/writer. It is a fast, automatic identification
technology.
More information about RFID and the IP4 Reader are in the following
Intermec publications. PDFs of these publications are available from the
Intermec web site at www.intermec.com.
