New technology turns smartphones into RFID readers, saving costs and reducing waste

The technology developed by engineers at the University of California San Diego combines a chip integrated into product packaging and a software update on the phone. The phone, as an RFID reader, becomes capable of identifying objects based on signals the chip emits. The project takes advantage of breakthroughs in backscatter communication, which reroutes signals created by the smartphone in a way that the phone can interpret. The broader promise of the technology is the development of devices that can harvest power from LTE signals instead of batteries. As a result, electronics would become substantially less expensive and would have a longer lifespan of several decades.
