RFID frequency comparisons
Frequency Advantages Drawbacks
125 KHz Proven technology No Regulation problems. Metal and water tolerant. Animal traceability Slow data transfer Large tag for 1m Cost and packaging
13.56 MHz Proven technology Reasonable tag size Many suppliers Cost Problems such as detuning Poor metal tolerance Standards 14443 15693 18000... Long range is out of ISO
UHF 869-915 MHz Best operating range Choose for EPC solution Cost target the only long range choice Poor metal tolerance Poor water tolerance Non mature market
2.45 GHz Smallest tag High data rate Short range ! Regulation Interference problems
