"RFID Handbook: Technology, Applications, Security and Privacy" by Gordon Colbach helps readers understand the complex world of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID). Due to its comprehensive nature, it is suitable for beginners and tech specialists alike.

The book starts with a brief introduction to RFID’s history, and then moves on to essential components such as tags, readers, and antennas.

Then, Colbach examines the more technical aspects of Radio Frequency Identification, showing the reader how the different components work together in harmony.

If I were to choose this book’s top strength, it would definitely be the applications section, which discusses how RFID is used in various industries, starting with supply chain management and ending with healthcare. The author uses lots of real-world examples to illustrate the potential of this powerful technology.

Concerns about data privacy and security are more than legitimate in today’s digital world. Fortunately, Colbach addresses these issues comprehensively not only by discussing them, but also by providing effective strategies that can mitigate risks.
