Overview:
Detailing how RFind's Tag to Tag(TM) communication technology addresses the needs of users requiring precise GPS type asset locating ability, indoors or outdoors, this paper defines and compares Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology and RTLS (Real Time Locating System), which is based on RFID technology. It illustrates the checkpoint locating and triangulated locating methods using images, and compares their cost and accuracy with those of RFind's Tag to Tag(TM) Communication Technology, which uses trilateral targeting algorithms for precise real time location of assets. The paper also details the many advantages of Tag to Tag(TM) communication technology, which makes use and deployment of RTLS truly affordable.
