Definition of RFID
Radio-Frequency IDentification (RFID) is a technology to record the presence of an object using radio signals
It is used for physical and logical access control, inventory control, timing for sporting events, cashless vending, etc…
The technology is used for automatically identifying a person, a package or an item. To do this, it relies on 3 criteras : RFID tags, RFID Readers and Software
OK... Now... The real definition !

5. NOW… Let’s look at our first technology
RFID Tags are small transponders that transmit identity information over a short or long distance
RFID Readers receive the information from tags when presented within the field of the reader’s distance capability
Software is used to determine the parameters of the RFID Tags and readers
NOW… Let’s look at our first technology
BARIUM FERRITE

6. Read Only Technologies
Barium Ferrite is a highly magnetic material, has a high packing density, and is a metal oxide. It has been used regularly in studies dating as far back as 1930, however has found popularity recently with its use in magnetic card strips, speakers, and magnetic tapes.
One area in particular it has found success in is long-term data storage; material is magnetic and resistant to temperature, corrosion, and oxidization.

7. Yogoro Kato and Takeshi Takei of the Tokyo Institute
1930
Yogoro Kato and Takeshi Takei of the Tokyo Institute
of Technology invented FERRITE (BaFe)
Recent developments have focused on the use of Barium Ferrite as a long term data storage option for the following reasons :
The material has proven to be resistant to a number of different environmental stresses, including humidity and corrosion
Because Ferrites are already oxidized
it can’t be oxidized any further

8. We invented Ferrite, a magnetic ceramic compound containing oxides of iron and of other metals with properties useful in electoronics. Mass production cores in 1937 for use in radio equipment. The electric & electronics industries use it in numerous applications today.

9. Magnetic stripe cards still popular and widely used contain barium ferrite. As we know today, these are no longer considered high security
The combination created unique number identifyers matched with a person or an object
Barium ferrite is an older technology. At a base level, for access control purposes, cards were created using magnetic polarity combinations

10. Conclusion Until Next Week ! We’ll talk Barcodes !
Who would have thought that today’s technology would directly be linked to a technology dating from 1930?
Barium Ferrite opened the door to the future.
The years to come will prove that Yogoro Kato and Takeshi Takei were innovative and precursors in the security industry.
But wait…this is only the begining…
Until Next Week !
We’ll talk Barcodes !
