The People's Republic of Bangladesh might be one of the last places you'd expect to see RFID in action. But it actually boasts several implementations, in large part due to a startup RFID hardware provider and systems integrator determined to help modernize the small Southeast Asian country.

The bulk of Bangladesh's borders are shared with India, except for a small section the country bounded by Myanmar in the far southeast, and by the Bay of Bengal in the south. Bangladesh declared independence from Pakistan in 1971, but the country's development has been slowed by political upheavals, including at least four military coups. With 150 million people living in Bangladesh, it is one of the most densely populated nations in the world, much of its population poor and rural.
