RFID to the Rescue
-- Pushpa Sathish, Staff Writer
Another use for rugged RFID technology – in times of war and disasters, natural or manmade. Handheld readers from a collaboration between SkyeTek and ACC Systems will be put to good use – in the Tactical Medical Coordination System (TacMedCS), the wireless communication system that harnesses the power of RFID to gather real-time data during search and rescue operations. The system will help in the identification, location and tracking of both casualties and medical resources.
SkyeTek's embedded RFID technology will power wirelessly connected RFID handhelds used to read information resident on RFID medical wristbands placed on casualties or refugees and electronic dog tags worn by personnel in the field.
