Long-range RFID readers use RFID technology to read information from a certain distance. Sounds amazing, right? RFID is a radio frequency identification system comprised of two components: tags and readers. A long-range RFID reader allows users to track or identify items by scanning and reading RFID tags. They have been widely used in warehouses and factories as well as some public places, such as parking lots and the high-speed toll booth.

The advantages of long-range RFID readers

Long-range RFID readers provide great security and comfort. For example, long-range RFID readers for parking systems allow drivers to access without having to stop the car or roll down the window. At upscale locations with entrance guard systems, the long-range RFID readers facilitate access for people by detecting the corresponding tags. Also, long-distance RFID readers can be used for security applications as the long-distance RFID system is an access control system with great advantages. For example, a long-range RFID credit card reader is a smart consumer terminal that integrates facial recognition payment, QR code payment, and IC card payment. Another advantage of the RFID long-range readers is that they can read multiple tags at once, making them ideal for tracking large numbers of items. Therefore, they are commonly used in the manufacturing industry. In addition, long-range NFC readers are a great solution for battery-powered applications as they have low power requirements.

Types of long-range RFID readers

When it comes to the RFID reader range, there are two types of long-range RFID readers based on different frequency bands. A high-frequency RFID reader system has a read range of up to 1 meter. Although the band range is between 3MHz and 30 MHz, long-range RFID readers at 13.56 MHz are commonly used, as the RFID reader system usually operates at 13.56 Mhz. Such long-range RFID scanners have a moderate sensitivity to electromagnetic interference, and they transmit data in a shorter time. As a result, they are well-accepted for jobs in ticketing and data transfer. Ultra-high frequency RFID readers are also available, and they can read at greater distances of up to several meters. Such long-range RFID readers are popular in applications related to traffic and vehicle passage control.
