• What if there was a technology that one-upped
RFID?
• What if there was a way to have continuous
identification, but without the extreme size, cost,
and limited life of active RFID?
• What if there was a way to gain far greater read
ranges?
• What if there was a way to overcome the
problems of reading around water and metal that
have been the operational “Achilles’ heels” of
item-level RFID?
• RuBee- long wavelength technology
• A.k.a. long wavelength ID
 Why emerging?

RuBee RFID

• magnetic wave • RF energy signals

inductance • backscatter
