Wi-Fi RFID Hybrid Location System
Hitachi is working on a version of their Air Location positioning system which will use Wi-Fi RFID tags. The system would be used to monitor the location of people in buildings and possibly be used for emergency use such as disaster relief. [via RFID in Japan]
This system is a form of RTLS, Real-Time Location Systems, which are a growing niche of RFID suitable for both inanimate objects and people using wearable RFID wristbands or badges. Several water parks are using them, including Great Wolf Lodge, or planning to. In fact, PDC, Precision Dynamics Corporation, is planning to demo their Smart Band RFID Wristband at a waterpark symposium in late October.
