Product type
Active RFID tags are electronic devices that use radio frequency signals to transmit data about their location or status. Unlike passive RFID tags, which rely on an external reader for power, active RFID tags have their own power source, typically a battery, allowing them to broadcast signals over longer distances. They are commonly used for tracking and monitoring assets in various industries.
| Power source | Battery-operated |
| Range | Up to 100 meters or more |
| Frequency | 433 MHz, 915 MHz, or 2.45 GHz |
| Data storage capacity | Varies; typically a few kilobytes |
| Environmental resistance | Waterproof and dustproof options available |
| Tag size | Varies; typically from a few centimeters to several inches |
When selecting active RFID tags, consider the required range and the environment in which the tags will be used. Specify the frequency that best suits your application, and ensure the tags have adequate environmental resistance if they will be exposed to harsh conditions. Additionally, discuss the data storage needs and battery life expectations. It is also important to clarify the quantity needed for your project to receive accurate quotes.
