'''Mobile RFID''' (M-RFID) are services that provide information on objects equipped with an RFID tag over a telecommunication network.<ref>C. Seidler. RFID Opportunities for mobile telecommunication services, ITU-T Lighthouse Technical Paper. May 2005. http://www.itu.int/ITU-T/techwatch/rfid.pdf.</ref> The reader or interrogator can be installed in a mobile device such as a mobile phone or PDA.<ref>{{Cite web |title=An overview of Mobile RFID Network |url=https://www.researchgate.net/figure/An-Overview-of-Mobile-RFID-Network-as-designed-by-the-Mobile-RFID-Forum-Korea_fig1_228773070 |website=Research Gate}}</ref>
Unlike ordinary fixed RFID, mobile RFID readers are mobile, and the tags fixed, instead of the other way around. The advantages of M-RFID over RFID include the absence of wires to fixed readers and the ability of a small number of mobile readers can cover a large area, instead of dozens of fixed readers.<ref>S.M. Birari, S. Iyer. Mitigating the reader collision problem in RFID networks with mobile readers. In Proceedings of the 13th IEEE International Conference on Networks, 2005.</ref>
The main focus is on supporting supply chain management. But this application has also found its way in m-commerce.{{Citation needed|date=April 2011}} The customer in the supermarket can scan the Electronic Product Code from the tag and connects via the internet to get more information.{{Citation needed|date=April 2011}}
