Understanding the Right Frequency for your Application
| Frequency Range | Theoretical Read Range | Data Range | Surfaces Typical Applications | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Low Frequency (LF) | 125 KHz, 134 KHz | Short <0.5m (<1.5ft) |
Slower | Acces control, animal tracking, vehicle Immobillzers and POS application |
| High Frequency (HF) | 13.68 MHz | Short to Medium 1-3m (3-10ft) |
Medium | Access control, smart shelves, item-level tracking |
| Ultra-High Frequency (UHF) Passive |
860 MHz - 960 MHz | Long 3-9m (10-30ft) |
High | Pallet tracking, electric toll collection, baggage handling |
| Ultra-High Frequency (UHF) Active |
433 MHz 860 MHz-960 MHz |
Very Long 3-450m+ (10-1,500ft+) |
High | High-value asset tracking, construction, oil and gas |
| Microwave Frequency |
2.45 GHz / 6.8 GHz | Medium >3m (>10ft) |
Very High | RTLS-type applications, some supply-chain applications and electronic toll applications |
| Ultra-wideband | 3 GHz / 10.6 GHz | Low to Medium <10m (<30ft) |
Highest | Medical equipment tracking, room-level monitoring |
