Why are identity applications now using or considering the use of RF-enabled technology?
RF-enabled technology can deliver a number of benefits to an identity verification application. For example: • Speed and convenience. RF-enabled technology can improve the speed and convenience of the identity verification process. A user can simply hold an RF-enabled identity credential in close proximity to a reader and have the required identity information quickly communicated to the identity verification system. This can improve throughput vs. processes that require the user to insert or swipe an identity credential. • Durability and reliability. RF-enabled technology is well-suited to identity verification systems that are exposed to the elements and have high usage. RF-enabled smart cards are durable and reliable. RF-enabled smart cards and sealed RF readers prevent damage when identity credentials and readers are exposed to dirt, water, cold, and other harsh environmental conditions. • Security. RF-enabled smart card technology can improve the security of the identity verificat
