Frequently Asked Questions

What is an active RFID tag?
An active RFID tag has an onboard power source (usually a battery) and an active transmitter.

What is a passive RFID tag?
Passive RFID tags are typically made up of two parts: an integrated circuit and an antenna. There are no additional moving parts or batteries.

What are low-frequency (LF) RFID tags?
LF RFID tags have a frequency of 30 to 300kHz, enabling them to read data within a few centimeters/inches of transmission.

What are high-frequency (HF) RFID tags?
HF RFID tags have a frequency of 3 to 30 MHz, with a primary frequency range of ~13.5 MHz that is used for RFID applications.

What are near-field communication (NFC) tags?
NFC tags are essentially a subset of HF RFID tags. An NFC tag is a passive device that functions without a power supply of its own and is dependent on an active device for operations. It can act as a reader as well as a tag.

What are ultra-high-frequency (UHF) tags?
UHF RFID tags have a frequency ranging from 300 MHz up to a maximum of 3 GHz. However, most UHF RFID systems operate between the 860 and 960 MHz bands. This is a result of the communication protocol standards put in place by GS1 as well as frequency regulatory standards set by individual countries/regions.
