This document discusses RFID and the Internet of Things (IoT). It describes RFID as an automatic identification technology that uses radio waves to identify objects. The IoT allows physical objects to be connected to the internet and be remotely monitored and controlled. The architecture of an IoT system generally has three layers - a perception layer to collect data from sensors and RFID tags, a network layer to transmit the information, and a service layer to process and analyze the data. RFID has applications in various fields including healthcare, transportation, and access control. Challenges to the wider adoption of RFID include collision problems, security issues, and high tag costs.
