WISP stands for Wireless Identification and Sensing Platform. The term "Identification" comes from "Radio Frequency Identification" (RFID). WISPs have the capabilities of RFID tags, but also support sensing and computing. Like any passive RFID tag, WISP is powered and read by a standard off-the-shelf RFID reader, harvesting the power it uses from the reader's emitted radio signals. The WISP is developed by Intel Research Seattle.

Applications

Wisps have been used for light level measurement, acceleration sensing, cold chain monitoring (passive data logging), and cryptography and security applications.
