In embodiments of the present invention improved capabilities are described for a radio frequency (RF) tag configured to collect data from a data source when the RF tag is energized by an external RF signal, the RF tag aggregating data collected by the RF tag over time in a memory store of the RF tag, the RF tag comprising (i) an antenna, (ii) an RF and analog block coupled to the antenna, and (iii) a data processing and controller block, wherein the RF tag is at least in part powered by the external RF signal as received by the RF and analog block, wherein the RF tag exchanges information with a memory storage facility connected to a network when the external RF signal is generated by a device connected to the network. |
