Using the RFID reader

Your Tablet PC may include an integrated 13.56 MHz RFID reader that you can use to
retrieve information from RFID tags.
RFID tags use radio frequency (RF) transmissions to identify a product, animal, or person.
RFID doesn't require direct contact or line-of-sight scanning, and can be scanned through
many materials, including clothing. An RFID tag can store much more data than a typical
barcode, and some RFID tags can both transmit and record data. RFID can be used for asset
tracking, identification, process control, healthcare, and pharmaceutical applications.
