I. What is Smart Band Radio Frequency
Identification? II. Why is RFID the next
technological step after bar coding?

What is RFID?

• RFID is Radio Frequency Identification
• A technology in the Automatic Identification
  family
• Barcodes
• Biometrics
• Voice Recognition
• Magnetic
• Touch
• RFID

19
RFID is not new

• Historical applications include
• Tractor Trailer Tracking
• Railcar Tracking
• Yard Management
• Parking Lot Access
• Toll Collection
• Access Control
• Smart Cards
• Animal Identification
• Fuel dispensing loyalty programs

20
What is Smart Band?

• Inlet is sealed in an economical,
  non-transferable wristband.
• Unlike barcode, RFID provides an over-the-air
  interface. Line-of- Sight communication is not
  necessary (Read/Write through and around bedding,
  clothing, and the human body).
• Read/Write capability allows for data transfer to
  and from host systems and data storage (i.e.
  Bloodtype, Allergic Reaction Warning,
  Instructions/DNR, Surgery Site).
