RFID CORE TECHNOLOGY In the simplest terms‚ RFID is a technology that utilizes radio waves for communication between a transmitter and a receiver. In the case of RFID for business‚ the receiver is a reader/antenna and the transmitter is a tag. The tag is encoded with a unique identification number.
