NOTE These sections provide helpful information that can make the installation go more smoothly and quickly. Contents Dot-433 System Overview History Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) systems have existed for many years. Initially, systems were developed so that military aircraft and ships could be quickly identified by electronic methods. Radio equipment (transponder) on a plane or vessel would broadcast a coded signal to identify it as a friend to an appropriate receiving station. A plane or vessel not able to transmit the correct identification would be considered a possible enemy. Similar technology is employed today for air traffic control as well as vessel identification in shipping lanes and ports – and the RF device is still called a transponder. Other present-day applications include “tagging” vehicles, assets or people for identification within a designated area – or as they pass through portals. For example, a transmitting device can be placed on a laptop computer so it can be identified if carried out of a building. Further, if people in that building also carry transmitting devices, it is easy…
