What Is RFID VS NFC Card?
1. RFID vs NFC Card: What You Need to Know RFID and NFC are two wireless technologies that are often used for identification, communication and data transfer. But what are the differences between them and how do they work? In this blog post, we will explain the basics of RFID and NFC, their similarities and differences, and their applications and benefits. 2. What is RFID? RFID stands for Radio Frequency Identification and is a wireless, non-contact based technology that uses electromagnetic fields to automatically identify and track tags. These tags are often either attached to an object (e.g. vehicles, equipment, etc.) or implemented in an access card often used in personnel access control solutions. RFID tags can be passive or active. Passive tags do not have a battery and rely on the reader's signal to power up and send back data. Active tags have a battery and can transmit data to a passive reader. Passive tags are cheaper, smaller and more durable than active tags, but hav
