All RFID Product
RFID and Beacon technologies serve distinct purposes: RFID focuses on precise item identification and tracking, while Beacons enable location-based interactions via Bluetooth. Both are wireless but differ in communication range, power consumption, and use cases. Here’s a detailed breakdown of their differences and applications.
| Feature | RFID | Beacon (BLE) |
|---|---|---|
| Communication | One-way (tag to reader) | Two-way (broadcasts signals) |
| Range | Passive: 1–10m Active: 100m | 1–70m (Bluetooth Low Energy) |
| Power Source | Passive (no battery) or Active | Battery-powered |
| Data Interaction | Reads stored tag data (e.g., ID) | Broadcasts location/triggers actions (e.g., push notifications) |
| Cost per Unit | 0.10–50 | 10–100 |
