Abstract :
This work outlines the design and implementation of an ad-hoc wireless networking capable multi-protocol RFID reader system, called TelosRFID. The name TelosRFID stems from the system´s combination of Crossbow Telos rev. B (TelosB) ZigBee motes with a custom 13.56MHz RFID reader board. Custom firmware enables the TelosB motes to construct an ad-hoc ZigBee network and relay RFID tag data from the custom reader board back to a client PC.
