This document summarizes Mojix's radio frequency identification (RFID) technology and solutions. It discusses how Mojix's Space Time Array Reader (STAR) system uses distributed transmitters and a centralized long-range receiver to provide real-time location tracking and item visibility across large areas. The STAR system offers high read rates, accuracy, and reliability compared to conventional RFID solutions. Examples of Mojix deployments providing RFID tracking in warehouses, distribution centers, factories, and retail stores are also presented.
