Re: Re: RFID Human Implants - Occupancy Detection

isn't the modern day equivalent Bluetooth??
Am sure I remember an Asterisk (VoIP - PBX) that uses scattered blue
tooth access points that pick up on - of all things - blue tooth mobile
phone head sets (the equivalent of 'the badge'). The idea being -
automatic hot desking - all your calls get directed to whatever phone
you are near at the time.
I don't think that the head set ever gets used as such - just something
that has a unique id and transmits. All it would take is a cheap version
to be 'crafted' into a StarTrek type badge and your away!
