RFID Under Water: Technical Issues and Applications

While RFID technology is nowadays very common in many commercial and industrial sectors, from items tracking to personal identification, few studies have dealt with the chance to use RFID systems in marine or fluvial environments for underwater monitoring operations. While the technical limitations for these scenarios can be in some cases insur‐ mountable, ad-hoc studies have proven that in some cases RFID technology can work even under water.
