1. An apparatus comprising:

  • a radio-frequency identification (RFID) radiator module;

    a first assembly comprising a processor, wherein the processor is operatively coupled to the RFID radiator module;

    a second assembly comprising an RFID radiator operatively coupled to the RFID radiator module;

    a connection element coupled to the first assembly and the second assembly;

    wherein the second assembly is movable relative to the first assembly about the connection element between an undeployed configuration and a deployed configuration;

    wherein the processor is configured tointerrogate one or more RFID tags via the RFID radiator module and the RFID radiator when the second assembly is in the deployed configuration, andnot interrogate the one or more RFID tags via the RFID radiator module and the RFID radiator when the second assembly is in the undeployed configuration; and

    wherein the first assembly comprises a first attachment component configured to removably couple the first assembly, in the deployed configuration, to one or more surfaces of an enclosure, and wherein the second assembly comprises a second attachment component configured to removably couple the second assembly, in the deployed configuration, to one or more surfaces of the enclosure, such that the first assembly and the second assembly are held in the deployed configuration by at least the coupling of their respective attachment components to the one or more surfaces of the enclosure.
