Senator Vanstone says identity fraud costs taxpayers more than $1 billion every year.

Their 3D-iD system is ideal for both stationary assets, such as large physical inventories or for mobile assets like people and portable equipment. 3D-iD is developed around patent-pending technology based on pseudonoise research conducted by the U.S. Department of Defense. PinPoint has applied this research to create L3RF Tags (Long Range, Long Life, and Low Cost Radio Frequency).
