Baltimore Company marketing Active RFID Tags can be used for tracking assets and people in real-time

Baltimore-based Wireless Builders is now offering Active RFID tags to help companies accurately locate and track any asset or person. The small, battery powered tags utilize standard Wi-Fi networks to track high-value assets and people in real-time in any environment. "This unique technology will extend a companies existing wireless networks' capability to a new application, helping to drive efficiency and productivity," said Rich Schrock, Vice President of Professional Services for Wireless Builders. "We're excited to offer this product to our customers to help drive down the total cost of ownership for their wireless networks and increase their Return-on-Investment. Wireless Builders is constantly looking for new and innovative ways for our customers to utilize their existing network." The active RFID tags used by Wireless Builders use a replaceable four-year battery and come with multiple reader options. One of the many features of the tags is a call button, which allows them to define events according to buttons pushed on the tag. This enables advanced functionality such as emergency reporting or parts replenishment. Active Tags differ from regular RFID tags in that they come with their own power source that can transmit a signal much stronger and farther than traditional RFID tags. Active tags are now being integrated into new US passports.
