RFID, Card Tags and Readers

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is the wireless non-contact use of radiofrequency waves to transfer data. Readers, also called interrogators, are devices that transmit and receive radio waves in order to communicate with RFID tags. RFID readers are typically divided into two distinct types – Fixed RFID Readers and Mobile RFID Readers. With the addition of a multiplexer, some readers can connect to up to 32 RFID antennas.

RFID is the use of radio waves to read and capture information stored on a tag attached to an object, providing a unique identifier for an object. RFID Technology is used in many industries and in a wide variety of applications as it can deliver a number of benefits for organizations.
