FAQ
What is RFID?
Radio frequency identification (RFID), is a generic term for technologies that use radio waves to automatically identify people or objects.
Radio frequency identification (RFID), is a generic term for technologies that use radio waves to automatically identify people or objects.
How does it work?
There are several methods of identification, but the most common is to store a serial number that identifies a person or object, and often other information, on a microchip that is attached to an antenna (the chip and the antenna together are called an RFID tag). The antenna enables the chip to transmit the identification information to a reader. The reader converts the incoming radio waves from the tag into digital information that can then be passed to computers.

Where is RFID technology used?
RFID is used for everything from tracking assets, people (patients etc) or pets, to toll collection systems. The possibilities for use are almost endless.

How much information can be stored on a RFID tag?
This depends on the application, but typically a tag carries no more than 2KB of data. This is enough to store some basic information about the item the tag is attached to.
