Abstract
A wireless networked monitoring system including multiple reader mechanisms for receiving, processing and transmitting signals, each reader mechanism associated with a read zone. Multiple signal emitting devices or tags are positionable within the read zones and emit signals containing data. A central processing device is in wireless communication with the reader mechanisms and receives, processes and transmits signals. In addition, the central processing device communicates with and controls the reader mechanisms and/or signal emitting devices.
