Why are standards important in manufacturing and using RFID?
A. Standards define the fundamentals of how RFID systems operate, and are necessary for interoperability of equipment from different vendors. The key elements of standards are the RF air interface – how readers and tags talk to each other – and the structure and function of the command set and tag memory. Since the physics of RFID are fundamentally different at UHF and HF, different standards are called for at each of these frequencies.
