INTEGRATING MCT WITH RFID: A CASE STUDY

Abstract: Mobile Communication Technology (MCT) has advanced manifold over the past few years and has established as a leading wireless communication medium. It has a distinct advantage of getting integrated with existing Information Technology environments at very low system requirements. RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) is the wireless non-contact use of radio-frequency electromagnetic fields to transfer data, for the purposes of automatically identifying and tracking tags attached to objects, Since RFID tags can be attached to clothing, possessions, or even implanted within people, the possibility of reading personally-linked information without consent has raised privacy concern [1]. In this paper we introduce a system where in we have proposed the integration of two technologies Mobile SMS & RFID to achieve security for inventory system which is totally independent of human intervention and does not need 24X7 human surveillance but will rely on SMS based alert as and when system security is being compromised
