Abstract

Present invention relates to a RFID network for tracking documents and goods: - one or more tags (7), each one apt to contain information relevant to the good on which it is applied; - one or more RFID readers (L), each one suitable to detect information stored within said one or more tags (T); - one or more antennas (A) for each RFID reader (L), each of which is suitable to detect tags (T) present within its detection field, characterised in that said antennas (A) are suitable to be connected, in groups of antennas and with a bus architecture, to each one of said RFID readers (L), and in that a control module is provided for each group of antennas (A) and each RFID reader (L) relevant to the antenna (A), said control module being suitable to be connected to a host computer (P) and to receive instructions from said computer for enabling a single antenna (A) per time by activation of a relays circuit (R1 ) so that relevant RFID reader (L) is connected only to said enabled antenna (A) and detects information contained within tags (T) present within the detection field of the enabled antenna (A).
