!!! Overview
[{$pagename}] is usually associated with [Asset Location Technology] and typically involves [Radio-frequency identification|RFID] or [Bluetooth Low Energy] ([BLE])

!! Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) vs. RFID 
Two different types of radio systems used, among other things, for asset location services.

!! Active [RFID] vs. passive [RFID]
* Active [RFID] systems (otherwise known as active RTLS) are battery-powered sensors that connect to various access points throughout an area (like a building) and transfer data to the cloud. 
* Passive [RFID], on the other hand, is what you most often think of as [RFID]. This technology uses a high-power, low-frequency actuator to radiate toward a tag. The tag absorbs the energy and radiates back at a higher frequency and lower power.

!! [RFID] vs. [iBeacon]
iBeacons are a type of active [RFID] that use [BLE].!! More Information
