Interview Details
This week, we present you our last interview from RFID Journal Live! 2007 conference in Orlando, FL.
Interview with Pierre Deschamps, Executive Vice President – Sales and Marketing – Cathexis Innovation inc. (Toll free: 1-866-304-RFID)
IDBlue : a pen or cigar shaped RFID HF and UHF reader which communicates through RFID on one side and Bluetooth on the other. The Bluetooth connection allows it to communicate with a smart phone or a PC thus providing increased mobility. It is among the smallest RFID readers in the world. The RFID pen can also double as a stylus when using a pocket PC.
The reader is used in healthcare to identify patients in hospitals and to associate drugs to the right person to avoid posology errors.
LF : 125 KHz is ususally for short distance applications : smart cards for access control, Esso Speedpass
HF: 13,56 MHz is ususally for short distance applications : smart cards for access control, healthcare
UHF: 860-960 MhZ : Wal-Mart mandates, Target mandates, RFID supply chain management applications, distribution, eventually in a store at the item level.
The podcast that helps you create value in your business with RFID.

What Is the Difference Between Low Frequency, High Frequency and UHF (Ultra High Frequency)? I am starting to get in to radios and not sure the difference I know that one is long range and the other is short can you help me out.
Hi Jason,
In the “RFID World”, the current international standards have decided that Low Frequency operates at around 125 KHz, High Frequency at 13,56 MHz and Ultra-High Frequency at 860-960 MhZ. International and national regulations also determine how much power can be used to transmit at these frequencies. Therefore, the fact that LF and HF are shorter range communication methods than UHF in the “RFID World” are purely human based. It’s also based on the fact that LF and HF use passive induction communication methods (i.e. a magnetic field) and that most UHF system don’t. Induction methods are shorter range than passive backscatter.
Hope that helps,
Harold
what is diffrence batween bluetooth and RFID?
RFID is a simple identification technology. Used to transfer a single long number between the device and the reader in most cases.
Bluetooth is a data communication method/protocol to enable two device to communicate at high speed (compared to RFID) this would enable audio / data / or photos to be transferred this is not possible with the relatively limited capabilities of RFID
In short lots of differences
what is the difference between high frequency and low frequency?
How to detect an RFID implant. Whether it can be planted in Larynx or in back or hand please discuss
