Enabling Technologies
Powering the Connections Behind Every Smart Product
The Internet of Things (IoT) connects physical objects with digital intelligence — enabling them to identify, sense, and communicate in real time. Identiv’s enabling technologies make this possible.
Through a complete portfolio of NFC/HF, Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), and UHF RFID inlays, tags and labels, Identiv gives everyday objects a digital identity — allowing them to be recognized, tracked, and understood across connected systems worldwide.
How Identiv Enables the IoT
Every connection begins with identity.
A tag or inlay applied to an object contains a small circuit and antenna that together act as its digital fingerprint. When a reader, phone, or gateway interacts with that tag, data flows — confirming authenticity, capturing movement, or triggering automation
Identiv’s enabling technologies cover every point on this connectivity spectrum — from secure tap-based communication to large-scale, long-range tracking — ensuring that every object, regardless of material or environment, can participate in a connected ecosystem.
