An inventory control system and method that tracks inventories of items with
RFID tags, includes a reader unit and an intelligent station that tracks RFID
tags to determine item information of items to be inventoried. The reader unit
transmits and receives RF signals. The intelligent station includes a first RF
antenna connected to the reader unit by a first transmission cable through a
first switch, and one or more additional RF antennae connected to the reader
unit by the same first transmission cable through additional switches. An
inventory control processing unit receives item information from the intelligent
stations to update inventory information regarding the items to be inventoried.
