What is gen2 RFID?
EPCglobal is the authority on how radio frequency identification (RFID) tags should be coded with information. The second-generation system (Gen-2) is favored after December 2004 and is the standard to follow when satisfying the requirements of the DoD and Wal-Mart RFID mandates.
Can RFID be printed?
RFID Printers have the ability to print not only humanreadable numbers and information, but graphics and 1D and 2D barcodes as well. Even for applications that do not require printing , RFID Printers can add value by saving time on encoding.
Can I use my phone as an RFID scanner?
Yes, you can use your phone as RFID tag. For Android or Windows phones you enable NFC. In case of an Apple you need to enable Bluetooth. Nowadays, the smart phone can be used as RFID tag as well.
Does RFID use 2.4 GHz?
Miniature 2.4 GHz tags can be used for tagging smaller items. Smart steerable RFID antenna arrays (such as [12]) can be made smaller at 2.4 GHz. Simpler 2.4 GHz antennas can be easily integrated or re-used in smartphones and handheld devices which already use 2.4 GHz band for Bluetooth and WiFi.
What is EPC gen2?
EPC Gen 2v2 is an update to GS1’s Electronic Product Code (EPC) air-interface protocol standard for passive, ultrahigh-frequency (UHF) RFID tags. Gen2v2 also enables a tag’s user memory to be partitioned into multiple files. Tags compliant with the new standard can be used for electronic article surveillance (EAS).
What are the differences between active and passive RFID system?
Active RFID tags have a transmitter and their own power source (typically a battery). Passive tags have no battery. Instead, they draw power from the reader, which sends out electromagnetic waves that induce a current in the tag’s antenna.
Can RFID measure distance?
Yes, RFID can measure distance. If you were to employ a similar solution, you would need to use ultra-wideband (UWB) RFID technology, which can measure a tagged object’s location very precisely. Such tags typically cost around $50 apiece.
What is long range RFID?
These tags are available in a variety of frequencies that include 2.45 GHz, 433 MHz and 860- 960 MHz. The long-range RFID tags enable the user to track assets across large areas and spaces. This product is suitable to different industries and is applicable to a wide range of businesses.
