| RFID is an automated technology used to gather information about a product,
place, person or transaction, quickly and easily, eliminating human error. In general, it provides a link to
data without the need to make contact with the item, without line of sight or in harsh or dirty environments that
may limit other AIDC technologies (e.g., bar codes and 2D symbols). It is a proven technology, in use for over 10
years in a cross section of applications. |
| RFID provides several beneficial applications for the telecom sector; the
foremost being Equipment identification and tracking. |

| Benefits |
| RFID technology uses radio waves rather than visible light so, unlike bar
codes, does not require physical contact or direct line-of-sight between the tag and the reader. Indeed, radio
waves can penetrate the human body, clothing and many non-metallic materials, so RFID tags can be read quickly,
without being presented to an RFID reader in any particular orientation, at distances up to 100 feet under normal
operating conditions. |
