We, RADIO6ENSE
	
RADIO6ENSE is a spin-off of
the University of Roma "Tor
Vergata", funded in 2013
and aiming at developing
short-range distributed
sensing technology to
discreetly measure and
quantify our interaction with
things and with the
surrounding spaces.

•  PASSIVE (batteryless) devices: Tags do
not include a battery; the required
power is supplied wireless by the
reader. They can be turned into
wireless sensors using R6E expertise.
•  BACKSCATTERING: Tags reflect the
reader's signal right back, modulating
the query signal to transmit data.
