Description

This week on Cambridge Tech Podcast, we sit down with Sabesan Sithamparanathan, founder and president of PervasID, to talk about how a passion for innovation, and a background shaped by a journey from Sri Lanka to Cambridge, led to pioneering advances in RFID technology.


In the episode, Sabesan breaks down how battery-free RFID is quietly transforming major industries:
