RF Controls’ RFID tags transmit location without external batteries

RF Controls, an asset-tracking solutions provider, has developed a real-time location system of passive RFID tags that can work without a battery, thereby exponentially improving the usability of the tags. “Our battery-free tags have the ability to scan an area with high speed, over long distances and with high accuracy. The particular protocol we use is called the RAIN RFID,” said Adrian Turchet, senior vice president of strategy at RF Controls.
