FCC Grants Authorization for New Wireless RFID

Parco Wireless received FCC authorization for an RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) equipment locating system that uses ultra-wideband pulses to provide sub-foot precision for the two-dimensional and three-dimensional location of RFID tagged objects. Parco Wireless' UWB RFID tag is roughly the same size as a wristwatch and can transmit continuously for up to 5 years on a single button cell battery. The company is marketing the technology as a solution for tracking hospital equipment.
