At the most basic level, Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) is a method for wireless identification. While many see RFID as a new technology, it has actually been in use for over 60 years. It proved to be a critical technology during World War II, used by the British Royal Air Force to identify friendly airplanes. The big difference today is that it is being applied in new ways, spurred on by technology advancements and decreased costs. This paper provides an overview of how RFID technology works and outlines the numerous benefits from the technology, many of which are already in use.
