Is It Possible to Perform RFID Location Tracking With a Smartphone?
Some smartphones come with a Near Field Communication (NFC) reader. NFC is a short-range form of RFID technology designed to have a limited read range, since it can be used for financial transactions, so it has limited use as a location-tracking solution. There are passive readers that can plug into a smartphone, as well as software for managing tagged objects. RFID Journal worked with Microelectronics Technology Inc. (MTI) and Enso Detego on such a solution, which we called RFID Journal's Find-IT. Other solutions exist, including one from U Grok It (see U Grok It Wants to Help Consumers and Small Businesses Find Their Stuff). - See more at: http://www.rfidjournal.com/blogs/experts/entry?10697#sthash.TzxdU9HX.dpuf
