    9. 3rd December 2005 @Copyrights Reserved 2005 - RFID Team : INFS 640 Working of RFID Reader generate signals that are dual purpose: provide power for a tag, and create an interrogation signal. Tag captures the energy from Reader and executes commands sent by the Reader Tag sends back a signal containing a unique digital ID (96-bit serial number) that can be looked up in a database available to the reader to determine its identity, perhaps expressed as a name, manufacturer, SKU (stock keeping unit) number, and cost. Tags are generally passive because they require no batteries or maintenance.

    10. 3rd December 2005 @Copyrights Reserved 2005 - RFID Team : INFS 640 RFID Infrastructure Existing software systems UNABLE to handle serial numbers Solution RFID Middleware RFID Middleware : Layer between RFID readers and the application software Consists of : Lower level device and data management Higher Interpretation level
