Or better yet track criminals in a jail? know their whereabouts anytime any place! so if they happen to visit a hotspot voila they show up you call the police and they are nabbed!
would be cool that it acts like a homing device so if a criminal has a rfid embeded into him then all it has to do is look for a broadband connection (wifi) based and it phones home!! damn this is some scary shit! enquiring minds want to know!! r- -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Ken Nowak Sent: Thursday, January 22, 2004 2:23 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [BAWUG] Tracking TVs or Maid Carts in Hotels using RFID appraoch For the following problem, I am trying to determine whether an RFID approach could work and not be cost prohibitive? Problem: Owner of a business wants to know if it is possible to track tagged items in a hotel e.g. TV's or maid carts. They would like to know which room they are located in and know the new location within a minute if the item moved. I am trying to think through whether there are different RFID approaches to such an application and what equipment and effort is needed to install this in a 500 room hotel with 5000 tagged items. Is there anyway to track by room without having a gate reader in each room? Is there any other way to implement that I am not thinking of (e.g., GPS location technology does not seem reasonable due to cost and line of site issues, other location technologies seem cost-prohibitive, etc.).
