CHAPTER 8<br />

<strong>BLOCKING</strong> <strong>READER</strong> IN PRACTICE<br />

Blocking Reader can be used to preserve privacy. The ability of the blocking<br />

reader to actually block the communication between the Reader and Tag can serve<br />

as a device that can be used in places where the privacy of the product should be<br />

preserved. In places like warehouse, hospital, residential areas etc the privacy of the<br />

products are important. So if there is a blocking reader then the products can be<br />

preserved from being read by some third party or unauthorized Readers.<br />

8.2 Warehouse<br />

Companies store there products to be marketed in the warehouse. If the prod-<br />

ucts are tagged with RFID tags it would be easy for any person with powerful Reader<br />

to read all the Tags and know lot of this information about the demand and sales of<br />

the company itself. Now it would become important for the company to preserve the<br />

privacy. If there is a low cost Blocking Reader in the warehouse it can prevent any<br />

external third party venders to read the products in the warehouse. Hence we can<br />

preserve the privacy of the company by preventing the third party from reading the<br />

company tags.<br />

Advantages of using the Blocking Reader in the Warehouse<br />

• A low cost product can ensure the privacy.<br />

• Creating a shield around the warehouse.<br />

• Easily configurable parameters like range.<br />
