The new standard makes it possible to stream data from sensors married to passive tags, by allocating a frequency channel to each device. When radio waves reaches a tag, the device wakes up and broadcasts the basic info it contains and then negotiates a clear channel on which to stream data.
Based on the article they are using the 920Mhz range which would imply a 10m range if current standard continue.
So active sensors for a warehouse (or house) to cover 10m bubbles would be pretty useful. Especially when you add something like an Bluetooth/WiFi/Z-Wave/Matter/etc bridge/mesh.
There is a very scare element to this though, as these chips could easily be used nefariously too though.
Brothers at this point in time they took away the personal computer in order to force us to rent time on the pantopticon hypnotic mechanical death-Turk.
Expect these to be forcefully implanted under your skin in order to I dunno *rolls dice * prevent illegal immigrants from voting or whatever.
They got too much power and were fucking cooked now.
It’s such a shame because VDI has the potential to be great for the consumers and the environment. But it won’t be because capitalism.

People have already been trained to carry surveillance devices in their pockets, all they need to do is add one more sensor. I’m sure grocery stores will find them extra helpful.
Straight out of the NSA ANT catalog aka LOUDAUTO and others.
Having passive sensors for smart home use would save me lot of time and money changing batteries. Interesting to see where this goes.
What protocol do you use? Using ZigBee, my sensors (temp, leak, doors) last about 2 years
Mostly Zigbee. Depending on the sensor, location and activity I’m getting between 6-18 months per battery, but I do have a lot of sensor, so there’s a regular churn of batteries.
I’ve had ZigBee door/window sensors last as little as a few weeks on a AAA battery, making them practically unusable.
So you can put couple thousands of rfid tags near the factory to disrupt it’s supply chain. Nice.
