ABSTRACT:
Apparatus and method are disclosed for communicating between a central location and a plurality of identification tags or labels located in a container or in a space without separately passing each tag or labeled product through a read station. The disclosure includes use of hashing to reduce the amount of time needed to read the possible tags in the space. Reading is accomplished using radio communication with a combination of broadcast and time division multiplex architectures.
