RadioTag tracking technologies work with a tiny microchip — no bigger than a pencil tip and as flat as a postage stamp — embedded in an adhesive label that will soon find its way on millions of products.
Called Radio Frequency Identification, or RFID for short, it works much like a bar code that is read by handheld scanners and the wireless terminals carried by such delivery carriers as UPS®, FedEx® and DHL®. The RadioTag service innovation is already being readied for license and launch with courier service pilot programs and other track and trace network applications.
As a result of the award, ABC's Good Morning America featured the RadioTag service as one of America's best new inventions.
