In the simplest terms an RFID system consists of a tag (transponder) and a reader (interrogator). The technology of RFID deals with the remote collection of information stored on a tag using radio frequency communications. Information stored on the tag can range from as little as an identification number, to kilo-bytes of data written to and read from the tag, to dynamic information maintained on the tag, such as temperature histories. The information from the tag/reader combination is either presented to a human operator typically using a hand-held device with a alpha-numeric display or a host computer which automatically manages the information.

Frequency

Over the course of decades of RFID development, industry has evolved RFID solutions that variously trade the regulatory constraints, the signal propagation characteristics of various RF carrier frequencies, and the economics of tag size and optional batteries. These solutions employ only a few RF frequencies around which the vast majority of RFID systems are fielded today. The RF frequencies include relatively narrow bands centered at: 125/134KHz or low frequency (LF) 13.56MHz or high frequency (HF) 433/869/915MHz or ultra-high frequency (UHF) 2.45/5.8GHz or micro-wave (uW) These frequency values are commonly referred to the RFID technology. Thus, tags and readers combinations are described as employing LF, HF, UHF, or uW technology.

All Right Now, partners with the "Best of Breed" manufacturers' of RFID enabled terminals and readers, including Sirit, WaveTrend, Timbatec and LXE. We cover read/right applications for tracking using LF,HF and UHF technology on Ruggedised hand held terminals through to full UHF portals used in warehouse logistics and Distribution. Together, with our network of partners throughout Central and Eastern Europe, we add value and security to Multi National organisations wishing to deploy RFID Solutions across territories.
