OpenTag

From Pedia
Jump to navigation Jump to search

OpenTag is an RFID development platform for advancing ubiquitous electronic tagging of items and people. With OpenTag, we break through the barrier of application-specific and proprietary RFID product engineering by developing our own tag and associated firmware. An OpenTag can adapt to varying demands as a tagged item moves through its life-cyle from manufacturing to supply-chain to retail to consumer to disposal. OpenTags are security conscious and privacy friendly.

Background

RFID is in some ways a very mature technology; it can trace its roots to IFF systems invented during World War 2 and has been used for building access control and livestock tracking for decades. Yet, in other ways, it is still in its infancy.
