Abstract
A method of integrating devices using radio frequency identification (RFID) technology can include receiving a notification, from a communication system, of an incoming communication directed to a first communication address. An intended recipient of the communication can be identified according to the first communication address, wherein the intended recipient is associated with an RFID tag. An alternate communication device and a communication address for the alternate communication device can be determined. The communication system can be instructed to route the communication to the communication address for the alternate communication device.
