RFID vs. BLE: Capabilities and Comparison of Asset Tracking Technologies
RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) and BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) are two distinct wireless communication technologies that are used for various applications. RFID is a passive technology that uses radio waves to transmit data between the reader and the tag. The tag is attached to an object and contains a unique identifier that can be read by the reader. BLE asset tracking, on the other hand, utilizes low energy Bluetooth for active, two-way communication between devices. This makes BLE ideal for…

RFID vs Barcode: Why RFID is better for Asset Tracking

This blog post will help you learn about these systems, their similarities, RFID vs Barcode -key differences, advantages of RFID over Barcode systems and why RFID is better for Asset Tracking. What is Barcode Barcode enables data to be represented visually and is readable by machines. Vertical lines of varied width, spacing, and diameter were used…

How Much does an RFID System Cost
Good question! The cost of RFID system is an essential factor that helps decide whether an RFID tracking project is going to come to fruition or not. Unfortunately, the answer is, “It depends.” Let us explain the various costs involved, including the cost of RFID tags and readers, as well as the overall costs of RFID implementation. RFID System Cost A typical RFID tracking system consists of several essential components. Let’s explore each of them and assess their associated costs….

RFID Frequency Ranges – How to Choose the Right Frequency & Tag
RFID tags are classified by the frequency range they are intended to function in. There are four main frequency bands that are assigned to be used in RFID systems, by different government agencies. RFID Frequency Ranges RFID frequency ranges are classified as: The above RFID frequency ranges were initially confined to non-commercial usage and comprised of frequency ranges called as ISM (Industrial, Scientific and Medical) radio bands. Based on the purpose of the RFID tags, they are designed to work…
