Methods and apparatus for selectively facilitating access to RFID data of
one more RFID tags within a faraday cage are disclosed herein. In some
embodiments, (i) an external RFID interrogation signal is received (for
example, by one more external antennae deployed outside of the faraday
cage; (ii) a determination is made if access to RFID data of one more
RFID tags within the faraday cage is permitted; and (iii) contingent on
the determining that access from outside of the faraday cage is
permitted, access is provided to RFID data of one or more RFID tag(s)
within the faraday cage. This access providing may include the steps of:
i) in response to the received external RFID interrogation signal,
interrogating inside the faraday the cage one or more RFID tags; ii)
receiving an RFID response from one or more of the interrogated RFID
tags; and iii) transmitting to outside the faraday cage the received RFID
response.
