All RFID Product
An RFID card is a credit card-sized device that uses embedded radio frequency identification (RFID) technology to wirelessly transmit data. Unlike traditional cards with magnetic stripes, RFID cards contain a microchip and antenna that communicate with readers via electromagnetic fields, enabling touchless authentication, payments, and secure access.
💡 Key fact: Passive RFID cards never require charging – all energy comes from the reader.
| Type | Frequency | Primary Use Case |
|---|---|---|
| Low Frequency (LF) | 125 kHz | Animal tracking, basic access |
| High Frequency (HF) | 13.56 MHz | Contactless payments, secure access |
| Ultra-High Frequency (UHF) | 860–960 MHz | Warehouse inventory tools |
Note: Most “RFID cards” refer to HF systems (ISO 14443/15693 standards) used in security and finance.
Cykeo’s corporate access cards use multi-layer encryption that self-locks after 3 failed scan attempts.
