Active RFID tags and WLANs ensure compliance with corporate finance and government regulations.

Article Summary:

This wireless case study describes an RFID project in Cisco India that evaluated how well the Cisco wireless LAN (WLAN) could detect equipment with active RFID tags, and how well it communicated data about equipment location to an internally developed asset tracking application.

This WLAN case study describes the best practices and benefits of the solution including:

• Identifying, in near-real time, the location of valuable equipment assets for consistent and centralized tracking
• Helping Cisco staff meet regulatory and audit requirements
• Applying Cisco IT’s existing investment in wireless networks
