My Experience at IEEE RFID-TA 2025 in Valence A meaningful return to a city and a community I care about This year I had the chance to attend the IEEE RFID-TA 2025 conference in Valence, France, and the experience turned out to be far more special than I had anticipated. Beyond the scientific program, returning […]
How Qualcomm’s Dragonwing Q-6690 could turn everyday smartphones into powerful object scanners Qualcomm’s new Dragonwing Q-6690 might be targeted at enterprise devices today, but its technology hints at a future where every smartphone could double as an RFID reader. By integrating UHF RFID directly into the processor, Qualcomm removes the need for external reader modules […]
Passive RFID sensors are reshaping how we collect environmental data—without batteries, wiring, or maintenance. Powered entirely by the electromagnetic energy of an RFID reader, these sensors can measure temperature, humidity, pressure, strain, fill levels, and more. The result is real-time, wireless monitoring that’s not only cost-effective but also sustainable and scalable. This technology is enabling […]
UHF RFID technology is transforming industries—from retail and logistics to healthcare and agriculture—by enabling fast, wireless identification of items without direct contact. But like any powerful tool, it comes with challenges. Environmental sensitivity, signal interference, and security concerns are still hurdles in complex or high-speed environments. And while RFID tags have become more affordable, deploying […]
