RFID protocol standard
- EPCglobal Gen2 (EPC Class-1 Generation-2)
- This is the most widely adopted standard for UHF RFID. It specifies the protocol for communication between RFID tags and readers operating in the 860-960 MHz frequency range.
- Standard: EPCglobal Gen2 v2.0.1
- Reference: ISO/IEC 18000-63
- ISO/IEC 14443
- This standard covers the proximity RFID cards operating at 13.56 MHz, commonly used in contactless smart cards such as those used in access control and public transportation.
- It has two parts: Type A and Type B, detailing different communication protocols and power interfaces.
- ISO/IEC 15693
- This standard specifies the vicinity RFID cards, also operating at 13.56 MHz, but with a longer read range than ISO/IEC 14443. It’s often used for item-level tagging and library systems.
- ISO/IEC 18000 Series
- This series of standards define the air interface communications for different RFID frequencies:
- ISO/IEC 18000-2: For low-frequency (LF) systems operating at 135 kHz.
- ISO/IEC 18000-3: For high-frequency (HF) systems operating at 13.56 MHz.
- ISO/IEC 18000-4: For UHF systems operating at 2.45 GHz.
- ISO/IEC 18000-6: For UHF systems operating at 860-960 MHz, including EPCglobal Gen2.
- ISO/IEC 18000-7: For active RFID systems operating at 433 MHz.
- This series of standards define the air interface communications for different RFID frequencies:
- ISO/IEC 29143
- This standard specifies the air interface for RFID tags used in electronic toll collection and similar applications. It covers RFID tags operating at 5.8 GHz.
These standards ensure interoperability, security, and efficiency in the deployment of RFID systems across various industries and applications.
