RFID And Bringing The World Into The Future

By Ruth Fisher


The beautiful thing about humanity is the unyielding march to progress. It is often said that time flies, but the last century has really shown how fast that can happen in terms of technological innovation. Radio was the great innovation of the twentieth century and the foundation for much of the progress that came after. Many of the devices that have been developed since then, like the CSL RFID reader, came as a direct result of what was done in the past.

Radio frequency identification, or RFID as it is more commonly known, is a system for the wireless reading of information. This is done via the use of tags which store information which an RFID reader then identifies. A passive tag will have no power source of its own and will instead rely on taking energy from radio waves emitted by a reader. An active tag will have more range and will have a power source such as a battery.

UHF means ultra high frequency. Most wireless communications operate on radio frequencies in some form of another, and uhf is the frequency at which many of the most necessary wireless systems operate on. Wi-Fi, mobile phone coverage, and GPS are among the systems which operate on an ultra high frequency.

In terms of security, using chips and readers can have multiple tags. Using a lock that is connected to an reader, like the kind in hotel rooms, can greatly reduce unauthorized entry. In a retail space, items can also be tagged, which means that if they move past a certain point, security can be alerted.

An RFID chip can also be used to track living creatures. A pet can be embedded with one, making it easier to find in case it wanders off. They have applicability to zoos, for the same reason, to keep track of animals.

The applications of RFID technology are limitless, governed only by the imagination. The technology can make shopping at a physical location much easier. Items can be tagged with chips and instead of waiting in line at a counter, a customer can simply walk out, with RFID readers automatically reading both the chips and the credit or debit card of a customer and charging the latter the amount for the former. If shopping at a physical location does not completely fade away, it should be revolutionized. The technology can also be applied to health, as dust can be made that can be introduced into the human bloodstream to monitor overall bodily health. The main challenge to such technology is the fear that it applied to tracking animals can crossover and be applied to tracking people.

Picking an RFID reader is as easy as simply going out and buying one. Like any other piece of tech, the market is flooded with all kinds. A customer is practically spoiled for choice.

Like anything else, price should be considered. RFID readers can cost hundreds of dollars for even the cheapest variant. The investment is good, but it is still a considerable one. Some RFID readers will have to stay outdoors. As such finding a durable one is key. A weak one will break easily and necessitate another purchase.

Time flies. Human kind must fly with it. The future and the technology therein are inevitable.
