Cisco Slammed for RFID Staff Tracker

Cisco has come under fire from privacy groups as it prepares to launch a wireless RFID server that can track people and equipment using existing Wi-Fi networks. The Wireless Location Appliance 2700 is designed to track RFID tags down to a few metres and display the location on a central map. Alarms can be raised if the tag moves out of a predefined area, allowing companies to track equipment and, more controversially, personnel. Source: VNUnet
