Is there a way to use passive UHF for laptop security? How to conceal the tag, and is inside placement secure for the assets?
In fact, at ODIN technologies’ World Headquarters in Ashburn, Virginia we are currently using passive UHF RFID for IT Asset tracking, including laptops, phones, printers and lab equipment. RFID tags are commonly used in labels that can have human readable information and or barcodes on the exterior with the RFID tag hidden underneath. RFID tags can be de-tuned to the point of non functioning by close proximity to metal, however many tag manufacturers make Metal-Mount tags designed for use on metal. Testing of various tag types and locations can show whether standard tags will suffice in your use case, or if a metal mount tag is required. Depending on the results of a test, internal mounting may not be necessary, but if it is, it should certainly be a secure option.
