Gentag merges RFID with mobile network

Technology development company, Gentag, is engaging with VCG & Associates and Talisman Management to assist the company with the licensing of its IP portfolio, to combine RFID with its mobile networks, according to PR News Wire.

Dr John Peeters, president of Gentag, says: "Gentag has pioneered the concept of combining cell phones with MEMS, RFID and other sensors to create low cost ubiquitous cellphone-sensor networks.”

Peeters says Gentarg is looking to new market opportunities for the healthcare, IT, telecommunication and defence industries.
