Android RFID Handhelds & Readers

Geekland offers select rugged handhelds and tablets with built-in RFID readers. These handhelds and tablets are widely used in several application such as access control, logistics, asset & inventory control. The RFID readers can be configured to support multiple frequencies which broadly fall into the following three categories:

Low Frequency (LF):

• Frequencies from 125 KHz to 134 KHz
• Short read range, approximately 10 cm
• Slower read speed
• Low sensitivity to radio wave interference
• Applications include access control and livestock tracking

High Frequency (HF):

• Frequencies from 3 to 30 MHz. However, the most widely used frequency is 13.6MHz
• Read range between 10 cm to 1 meter (3 feet)
• Moderate sensitivity to radio wave interferences
• Applications include ticketing, payment, and data transfer applications
• Support for standards such as MiFare.

Ultra High Frequency (UHF)

• Frequencies from 860 MHz to 960 MHz
• Read range up to 12 meters (40 feet)
• Comply with the global, universally adopted UHF Gen2 standard (EPCglobal Gen2 ISO 18000-63)
• Fastest growing segment of RFID technology
• Cheapest tag to manufacture
• Application of UHF technology spans many markets; including retail, healthcare, life science, pharmaceutical, anti-counterfeiting, transportation, and manufacturing
