How RFID badges and cards work

Our RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) badges and cards are equipped with a tag (NFC, HF, or UHF), an electronic chip that can store a large amount of data and be read quickly from a distance, thus avoiding contact between people. The RFID badge system is activated by a transfer of electromagnetic energy between the RFID transmitter and the badge containing the chip. The reading distance varies according to the frequency of the chip (low, high and very high frequency). The higher the frequency, the greater the reading distance. 

These products are simple and practical and can be adapted to any environment (company, school, public institution...) RFID badges and cards are becoming multifunctional and indispensable, as they can be used as an electronic purse, an access pass to a photocopier, an access pass to the entrance of your buildings, to your work rooms or to your car parks. For instance, if the card or badge is invalid or access is denied, a sound alarm will go off and a red light will indicate that access has been refused. In case of loss, the card can easily be deactivated using its unique identifier.

Customisable RFID badges and cards

All our RFID products can be personalised with your information such as your logo, text, barcode, numbering in black or in colour. The printing is in high definition with high quality finishes. For added security, a holographic stamp can be added to certify the authenticity of the badge. It is also possible to encode your chip with encrypted personal data to guarantee the correct identity of the badge holder. As a result, you'll have badges that reflect your company's image, an important element in ensuring maximum security.

Fast reading of your RFID badges and cards

To complete the use of your RFID badges and cards, it is important to choose a good contactless RFID reader to read the data quickly and allow access. We offer a UHF reader that can read UHF cards, badges and tags up to 15m. We also have a USB HF and LF RFID reader with a maximum reading distance of 1m. Supplied with a USB cable, stored data can be transferred from your reader to a computer or HR software.

These RFID readers are easy to use, requiring no installation or support. In addition, they can withstand repeated handling and extreme temperatures from -20°C to 65°C. They can be used for various purposes such as access control, workstation authentication, group identification, etc.

We also offer products to protect and frame this technology such as the RFID protection case which will prevent any drift or hacking of your RFID badge.
