stations or exciters). This RF‐Zone is created using a signal in 125
KHz, which the tag
receives. As a result, the tag will wake‐up, and transmit over UHF channel (433 MHz) its
uniqueidentityandtheidentityoftheRF‐Zoneitjustenteredinto.

2. The tag takes the decision to send a message over theUHF band due to internal decision
(usuallysensor/timerbased),oruserinteraction.Forexample:
