Linked from

The 12 pages that link to Radio-frequency identification, each with the reason it gives.

• Internet of ThingsRelated: Ashton's original framing emphasized RFID as a way to connect objects to information systems.

• Radio frequencyBroader topic: RFID uses near-field or radiated RF to read identifying data without contact.

• Radio communicationBroader topic: It applies radio links to automatic identification over short distances.

• Radio waveRelated: Radio waves power or interrogate tags and convey their identifying data.

• TrilaterationRelated: Ranging-capable RFID systems can use distances to several anchors to locate a tag.

• Location-based serviceCompared with: It identifies objects within reader range rather than providing general geographic coordinates.

• BarcodeCompared with: RFID can identify items without the direct line of sight usually needed to scan a barcode.

• Baggage handling systemRelated: RFID can identify bags without requiring a scanner to see a printed code.

• Near-field communicationNarrower topic: NFC grew from high-frequency RFID and shares its inductive communication principles.

• Electronic lockRelated: Many contactless lock credentials use RFID tags or cards.

• Radio-frequency engineeringRelated: RFID systems apply RF coupling and modulation to communicate with compact tags.

• Universal Product CodeCompared with: RFID can identify goods without the line-of-sight scanning required by UPC barcodes.
