Yes, absolutely. I believe Savi Technology is the only company that produces an active RFID tag able to communicate with cell-phone networks via general packet radio service (GPRS). Several firms offer readers that can transmit information to a host system via GPRS.

Our special report, How to Choose the Right RFID System: A Step-by-Step Guide, lists several businesses that offer RFID combined with Global Positioning System (GPS) transmitters:
