Abstract

This article explores the transformative impact of Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) technology on wireless communications, advanced wireless networks, and wireless/mobile computing. RFID, harnessing the power of radio waves, has revolutionized industries by providing real-time tracking, enhanced visibility, and streamlined processes. We delve into RFID's applications in supply chain management, healthcare, retail, and transportation, showcasing its efficiency and accuracy. The integration of RFID with wireless communications facilitates seamless connectivity, while advanced wireless networks, including 5G, amplify its capabilities. The article also examines RFID's role in mobile computing, enabling on-the-go data collection and analysis. As RFID continues to shape the digital landscape, the article anticipates a future where connectivity, visibility, and efficiency converge to create a more intelligent and interconnected world.
