From: RFID in textile and clothing manufacturing: technology and challenges
Frequency band | Features | Applications |
|---|---|---|
100–500 kHz (low) | Short to medium read range; inexpensive; low reading speed | Access control; animal identification; inventory control; car immobilizer |
10–15 MHz (intermediate) | Short to medium read range; potentially inexpensive; medium reading speed | Access control; smart cards; library control |
850–950 MHz, 2.4–5.8 GHz (high) | Long read range; high reading speed; line of sight required; expensive | Railway vehicle monitoring; toll collection systems; pallet and container tracking; vehicle tracking |
