RFID and NFC
How data exchange works on your devices.
Did you know ? How data exchange works on your devices.
Two data recovery systems are widely used on the market: The RFID (Meaning Radio Frequency Idendification) system allows the storage and recovery of data by means of radio waves. For example, you can read the information contained in a part.
The NFC (Near Field Communication) system is a particular form of RFID. It is a technology that works through a chip allowing data to be exchanged between a reader and any terminal by simple reconciliation (eg: contactless payment, bus card, etc.).
The RFID system consists of an RFID tag (passive or active), an RFID reader, and an antenna. During a transfer, the RFID tag is interrogated by the reader, which transmits a signal to the tag through the antenna and the tag returns the requested information.
The NFC meanwhile, provides a more secure signal, because of short range, about 10 cm. It works through magnetic induction. The connected device transforms this magnetic field into an electrical impulse and therefore, into data bits.
