The RFID lab of CATTID (Television and Distance Learning Techniques Application Centre) at “La Sapienza” University of  Rome, is a laboratory devoted to the testing and integration of Radio Frequency Identification Technology.
The RFID lab integrates skills from “Dipartimento di Controllo e Gestione Merci” and their impact on the atmosphere (now “Dipartimento per le Tecnologie, le Risorse e lo Sviluppo”) Faculty of Economy, “Centro d’Eccellenza per i Trasporti e la Logistica” (Faculty of Engineering) and Pictorial Computing Laboratory (Faculty of Mathematical, Physical and Natural Sciences).
RFID-Lab has also established research relations with JRC (European Union Joint Research Centre) of Ispra and it is in contact with others laboratories of italian’s Universities (Genoa, Parma, Rome "Tor Vergata", Rome "Valco S. Paolo"), to increase the competences and the available resources. The aim of the Laboratory is to become a national and international reference of research and integration, coordinating skills and resources in the within of RFID technology. The laboratory in fact not only takes care of RFID, but also of integration between these technologies and others wireless technologies such as: Bluetooth and Zigbee for PAN (Personal Area Network), Wi-Fi in the WLAN (Wireless Local Network Area), GSM/GPRS in the WWAN (Wireless Wide Network Area) and NFC (Near Field Communication).
