The battery-assisted passive system relies on a battery located inside the tag as its energy
supply. The communication data carrier is passive and the transponder functions similarly
to a smaller "smart label" tag, but the energy supplied to the IC inside the tag is provided
by the battery. Typical applications using back scatter semi-active RFID tags include:
electronic toll collection.

Also available are systems that have data carriers which operate with active
communications as well as an active energy supply. These systems are more costly to
implement but are very flexible and able to handle longer ranges. The RF reader-writer
transmits data to the tag and the tag is generating its own modulated wave back to the RF
reader. Mobile phones operate using the same principle. Typical applications include:
electronic toll collection and real-time location of goods.
