The New Era of Wireless Tracking
News Factor offers this interesting report: "Several small vendors are working on technologies and networks that will enable consumer and commercial usage of wireless tracking beyond global positioning systems. Such technology is already in use in identification tags in department stores and in highway collection booths that let drivers bypass cash lanes. But the latest developments in wireless tracking will allow more data to be transmitted between a "tag" and a reader and provide a greater range of coverage: The tagged item can be a mile or two away to be read as opposed to just a few feet. That will open the door to new applications." :: Submitted for your mark of the beast files (Rev 13:15-18). :: No, I'm not saying this is the mark, but they are certainly making exciting advances in the field of ID technology.
