Another question!
If we consider a "typical" RFID system as deployed in a hospital ... how often does the system "ping" (interrogate) the tags? And is this setting adjustable (within limits) by you, the user (or manager)?
Are all passive tags automatically "pinged" in sequence, and can individual tags be "pinged" if you're interested in the whereabouts of a certain item (tag) or group of items (tags). I'm hoping that, in general, the answer to such questions is:- "Yes"!
Meanwhile, I'm assuming that
active tags can "work the other way" - that is, reporting their position occasionally without prompting by a reader (interrogator). Presumably, each active tag can have its "reporting interval" individually set.
