All RFID Product
You’re weighing RFID against GPS tracking, but here’s the truth upfront: They solve fundamentally different problems. RFID tells you what’s nearby, GPS tells you where something is globally. Confusing them wastes time and money. Let’s cut through the noise.
| RFID | GPS | |
|---|---|---|
| Range | 1-50 ft (indoor/contained) | Global (satellite-based) |
| Accuracy | Item-level (~99% ID precision) | 10-30 ft location precision |
| Power | Passive tags: no battery | Active devices: require charging |
| Infrastructure | Local scanners/readers | Satellite network + cellular |
