Why don't YOU need Line of sight communication in RF ID?
RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology does not require line-of-sight communication because it utilizes radio waves to transmit data between RFID tags and readers. These radio waves can penetrate various materials, allowing for communication even when tags are obscured or out of direct view. This capability enables RFID systems to function in diverse environments, making them ideal for applications like inventory management and asset tracking where visibility is often limited.
