Wide area RFID systems are essentially traditional RFID systems that can identify and locate numerous objects over a long range. The traditional deployment of RFID systems used to restrict usability as the objects were identified and accounted for only at certain checkpoints and entrances. In case, if a detailed inventory check is required, operators would have to manually scan individual objects or products which requires an immense amount of time and labor. Wide-area RFID systems have offered a viable solution to various industries to identify and locate numerous objects simultaneously all across the facility. The wide-area RFID systems make use of long-range RFID readers that can locate RFID tags over a distance of 100ft. In addition, these systems make use of additional cheaper antennas which can extend the reach of RFID readers deployed within the facility.

The overall wide area RFID system comprises numerous components such as RFID tags, readers, antennas, and software module in order to collect, manage and analyze the data collected. The RFID tag containing inlays can be attached to various products or components which need to be identified for inventory management. Long range RFID readers are deployed across the facility to ensure optimum coverage and identification of entire inventory. On account of high cost of RFID readers, end-users deploy numerous cheaper antennas which send signals from tags and readers back and forth. Thereby, the use of antennas makes deployment of wide-area RFID systems economically viable and effective.
