No. Passive RFID technology relies on a nearby reader(<100m) for interrogation. The MATTS technology is an active RFID system that utilizes powered tags with onboard processing for determining when data needs to be uploaded and through which type of communications network. MATTS tags transmit data (location, alerts) and receive directives (queries, parameters) via an adaptive, multimode communications architecture with embedded LAN and WAN capabilities. This maximizes MATTS worldwide availability and operation in that cooperative networks are not required for communications or location determination.
