Yes, there is a drastic difference. One key difference is that long range RFID tracks individuals without necessarily gaining their permission or knowledge of being tracked and identified, vs. short-range which requires a deliberate “opt-in” from the attendee. Long range RFID has an accuracy rate of 80%, whereas short range RFID has an accuracy rate of 100%. Long range RFID is prohibitively expensive, and short range RFID is quite affordable.
