WTag

WTag is a technology that allows for the wireless transmission of data using radio frequency identification principles. It operates by utilizing specialized tags that contain embedded microchips and antennas. These tags can be passive, meaning they are powered by the radio waves emitted by a reader, or active, containing their own power source.

When a WTag is within range of a compatible reader, the reader emits a radio signal that energizes the tag. The tag then transmits its stored information back to the reader. This information can include unique identifiers, product details, or other relevant data. The range of WTag communication can vary significantly depending on the type of tag, the reader's power, and environmental factors.

WTag technology finds applications in various sectors. Inventory management and asset tracking are common uses, allowing businesses to quickly identify and locate items. In supply chain logistics, WTags can monitor the movement of goods throughout their journey. Access control systems can also leverage WTag technology for secure entry. The ability to read multiple tags simultaneously and its non-line-of-sight capabilities differentiate WTag from older barcode technologies. Ongoing development aims to improve read range, data capacity, and security features of WTag systems.
