RFID (radio frequency identification) cards and smart cards are the same type of product, and both use a chip and antenna to store and transmit data.

How they work

RFID cards use radio frequencies to communicate with a reader, establishing a wireless connection. The card’s chip is activated when it’s brought into the reader’s electromagnetic field.

What they contain

RFID cards have a small, embedded chip and antenna that’s not visible. The chip’s integrated circuit (IC) contains memory that can be programmed for various uses.

How they’re used

RFID cards are used for a variety of applications, including access control, public transportation ticketing, and cashless vending

Types of RFID systems

There are several types of RFID systems, including low frequency (LF), high frequency (HF), ultra-high frequency (UHF), and microwave. The frequency and transmission range vary by system and region.

Comparison to other cards

RFID tags are usually read/write capable, while proximity cards are usually read-only.
