An RFID system includes a central RF network controller that processes tag data from preconfigured read point zones that span multiple antennas and RFID readers. The system includes a first RFID reader coupled to a first antenna, the first antenna having a first read point; a second RFID reader coupled to a second antenna, the second antenna having a second read point; and a controller coupled to the first RFID reader and the second RFID reader, the controller configured to group the first and second RFID readers in a read point zone and to receive tag data from the first and second RFID reader and assign the tag data to the read point zone.
