RFID / NFC

RFID technology: How it works, frequency bands and areas of application.

RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) is a key technology that is now indispensable in many areas of our everyday lives. Whether payment terminals, time recording systems, access control or logistics – RFID applications are omnipresent.

Technology

The same and yet different.

RFID mainly uses the 125 kHz (LF) and 13.56 MHz (HF) frequency bands. The reader supplies the energy required to read or write to a passive transponder. Depending on the standard – for example ISO 14443 – the typical ranges are 0.1 to 0.5 meters or less.

Comparison

RFID + NFC in comparison: Flexible communication - suitable readers.

NFC (Near Field Communication) is a radio technology that differs from classic RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) in one important respect.

RFID

With RFID, the remote station is usually passive and is only activated by the reader.

NFC

With NFC, the distribution of roles is flexible. Both communication partners can be both senders and receivers.
