Description
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to carry out installation, maintenance and upgrade of information and communication technology (ICT) networks.It applies to individuals employed by ICT networking provisioning companies specialising in radio frequency identification (RFID) technology. These individuals might work on upgrades to existing systems or be involved in implementation of new logistical or security networks using RFID technology according to design specifications.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1. Prepare to dimension and design an RFID system
  • 1.1 Obtain project brief and scope from relevant personnel and arrange for site access in compliance with required security arrangements, legislation, codes, regulations and standards
  • 1.2 Research the functionality, configuration and implementation methods of RFID technology
  • 1.3 Select required software and hardware to confirm the proposed system is designed to meet business requirements
  • 1.4 Conduct a survey of relevant interrogators, readers, tags and wireless units
2. Dimension and design RFID system
  • 2.1 Select relevant interrogators and readers for the given specification and confirm their compatibility with network infrastructure
  • 2.2 Minimise interrogator-to-interrogator interference according to client requirements
