An Overview of RFID and Embedded Computers
June 10, 2008 11:16 pm Technology and GadgetsRFID or Radio Frequency Identification is used in automatic identification and security purposes that rely in storing and remotely retrieving of data. RFID technology that usually operates at a 2.4 GHz frequency range is expected to establish its name in the field of identification and security. RFID technology has gained the interest of so many companies because of a huge number of applications where this technology can be utilized. RFID requirements should be carefully chosen to be able to make a perfect match for your transponder and reader.
Industrial Computing is another application that requires you to undergo a tedious process in choosing the perfect hardware to make sure that all your requirements will be satisfactorily served. Among the applications that require industrial computing are gaming, medical and transportation. Embedded computers are the common electronic components that may be utilized in this application.
An Embedded Computer is specifically designed to perform just a few tasks. Firmware is the term that refers to the software written for the embedded systems. It is stored in read-only memory chips or flash memory chips. Embedded systems may come in either big such as the systems that control power plants or small packages such as digital watches and MP3 players.
