CompTIA RFID+ Certification Sample Questions:
1. Although the site diagram has points marked for locations of print-encode-apply printers, the MOST important thing needed to complete the mounting is:
A) having a large work area.
B) knowing the label orientation on each case.
C) locating the WiFi access points.
D) knowing the load factor of the floor.
2. A company wants to track personnel using RFID with a resolution within 10 feet (3.1 meters). Which of the following RFID systems would provide the BEST results?
A) Passive ultra high frequency (UHF) RFID system with hand-held interrogators
B) Active Real Time Locating System (RTLS)
C) Global Positioning System (GPS)
D) Passive high frequency (HF) RFID system with interrogators at entry points
3. Loss of connection between an interrogator and the edgeware/middleware would result in which of the following?
A) No tag data would be processed.
B) Only interrogator status would be tracked.
C) Tag data would be sent directly to the Warehouse Management System (WMS).
D) Only active RFID tag data would be processed.
4. Which of the following would be the BEST reason to use a hand-held rather than stationary interrogator?
A) User abilities
