RFID Card Types
RFID cards are used for contactless communication and come in various types based on their operating frequency, technology, and application. The most common RFID card types include: 1. Low Frequency (LF) Cards (125 kHz) Features: Operate at 125 kHz Short reading distance (up to 10 cm) Slow data transfer rate Common Standards: EM4100, EM4200, T5577 Applications: Animal tracking, access control systems, low-data applications 2. High Frequency (HF) Cards (13.56 MHz) Features: Operate at 13.56 MHz Reading distance up to 1 meter Moderate data transfer rate Can support encryption and read/write capabilities Common Standards: ISO 14443A/B: Used in NFC (Near Field Communication) cards like MIFARE and in contactless payment systems (e.g., bank cards) ISO 15693: Used in systems with longer read range than ISO 14443 NFC (Near Field Communication): Allows interaction with smartphones for mobile payments and data exchange Applications: Access control, transit cards, contactless payments, mob
