RFID ID Card

Technology:

• The RFID ID Card consists of a tiny microchip which embedded within the card. This chip stores data and communicates wirelessly with an RFID reader using radio waves.
• Contactless: Unlike traditional swipe cards, don’t need to physically insert an RFID card into a reader. Simply holding the card near the reader enables data transmission.
• Frequency: RFID cards typically operate in either low-frequency (LF) or high-frequency (HF) ranges. LF cards (125 kHz) are common and affordable, while HF cards (13.56 MHz) offer faster read speeds and potentially more data storage.

Types of RFID ID Card:

Here are two common categories:

• Proximity Cards (125 kHz): These are simple and affordable cards with low data storage (typically only a unique identifier). These  are widely used for access control and identification applications. (e.g., MIFARE Classic 1K)
• Smart Cards (13.56 MHz): These offer more advanced features like higher data storage, encryption, and even processing capabilities. These can be used for secure applications like contactless payments or storing complex information. (e.g., MIFARE DESFire)

Applications of RFID Cards:

These RFID id cards are used in a wide range of applications due to their convenience and versatility. Here are some common examples:

• Access Control: The granting entry to secure areas, buildings, or events by swiping or holding the card near a reader.
• Contactless Payments: Paying for transit fares, vending machines, or retail purchases (often with high-frequency cards).
• Identification Badges: Employee badges, student IDs, or membership cards that can be read by RFID readers for verification purposes.
• Library Cards: Borrowing and returning library materials.
• Inventory Management: Tracking and managing assets or products.
• Event Badges: Granting access to specific areas or activities at events.

Advantages of RFID Cards:

• Convenience: Contactless interaction is faster and more convenient than swiping or inserting cards.
• Durability: RFID cards are typically made of PVC plastic, offering a degree of sturdiness for everyday use.
• Security: While security levels vary depending on the card type, RFID cards can offer secure data storage and access control functionalities.
• Read Range: Depending on the technology, some RFID cards can be read from a short distance (proximity cards) or a few feet away (high-frequency cards).
• The RFID card price is inexpensive.
• RFID card machine / reader operates at a frequency of 125KHZ. It is known for its exceptional performance and affordable price in Pakistan. It’s reading range up to 10cm, it offers reliable and efficient RFID card reading capabilities.
