Yet another promising standard is called ZigBee with its variant ZigBee IP. It is based on open global
wireless technology, designed for use in various environments, including industry.

RFID

Not strictly communication, but important and popular technology, which uses tags to store
electronic information. The information can be passively or actively read via electromagnetic field.

RFID technology is used in many industries to identify and track inventory, people, objects, and other
assets due to the tag’s versatility and ability to be attached to just about anything. RFID does not
always require close contact; in some cases, even the briefest contact at a distance is all that is
required. An example of this is the timing of sports cars lapping a track. Even at those high speeds,
RFID works efficiently and reliably and produces accurate timing. Another advantage of RFID is that
the tags do not need line of sight or even need to be visible, so they can be easily concealed in
packaging and products. RFID tags can be read simultaneously by a reader if they are in range, which
is a big advantage over barcodes, which are read one at a time. Hundreds of RFIDs can be read at
