The main protection provided by the patent applies to a product design with multiple shelving levels, deployed in an open or closed cabinet configuration, which creates stronger reading fields to ensure the highest levels of read accuracy and reliability. The patent augments Mobile Aspects' position as an innovative leader in harnessing the capabilities of RFID technology to address the challenging processes and complex problems within the hospital environment. In addition to the patent received, several additional patents on Mobile Aspects' technology have been filed and are pending approval.
