Frequently asked questions

What is a dual frequency HF UHF RFID card?

A dual frequency RFID card is an ISO 7816 format badge that combines a 13.56 MHz HF chip and a UHF EPC Class 1 Gen 2 chip in a single card. The HF side handles proximity identification while the UHF side allows long distance identification from the same credential.

Why use a dual frequency RFID card for access control in India?

Dual frequency HF and UHF cards simplify migration of an existing access control system in India, because one badge works with the installed 13.56 MHz readers and with new long range UHF readers at gates and parking lanes. UHF in India runs on the WPC approved 865 to 867 MHz band.

Which chip technologies do these dual frequency cards support?

These dual frequency RFID cards support 13.56 MHz technologies including Mifare Classic EV1, DESFire EV1 and DESFire EV2, combined with UHF EPC Class 1 Gen 2 for long distance reading. The card follows the standard ISO 7816 format used for staff, student and visitor badges.

Can dual frequency RFID cards be printed and ordered in bulk in India?

Yes, dual frequency HF and UHF RFID cards can be supplied with custom printing and encoding and in bulk quantities by India RFID Store, a BIS and WPC certified Indian manufacturer. Card pricing depends on quantity and chip combination, so check the listed price or request a bulk quote.
