OHEL technologies uses UHF and HF RFID sensors in our products. In the realm of RFID technology, the choice between UHF (Ultra-High Frequency) and HF (High Frequency) tags plays an important role in addressing specific business needs. Understanding the differences between these two types of RFID tags is crucial for making informed decisions.

Frequency Range:
   UHF RFID operates in the ultra-high frequency range of 860-960 MHz, while HF RFID operates in the high frequency range of 13.56 MHz. The variation in frequency impacts their performance, read range, and suitability for different applications. UHF can be read at both close and long ranges, whereas HF has a shorter read range.

Read Range and Speed:
   UHF tags generally offer a longer read range compared to HF tags. UHF technology allows for reading tags from several meters away, making it ideal for applications requiring fast and long-distance identification, such as inventory management in warehouses. HF tags, with a shorter read range, are better suited for applications where close proximity scanning is sufficient, like access control or payment systems.

Interference and Environmental Factors:
   UHF RFID can be more susceptible to interference from metals and liquids due to its higher frequency. HF tags, being less affected by these factors, are often preferred for applications involving items like liquids, metals, or near-field communications.

Data Transfer Speed
   UHF tags generally offer faster data transfer rates compared to HF tags. This speed advantage makes UHF technology suitable for scenarios requiring rapid data transfer, such as tracking large volumes of items during shipping and logistics. UHF can read up to 200 tags at a time, whereas HF can only read up to 20 tags at a time.

Cost and Size:
   HF tags are often smaller in size and have lower production costs compared to UHF tags. This makes them suitable for applications where space constraints or cost considerations are significant factors.

Applications:
   UHF RFID finds extensive use in logistics, supply chain management, inventory tracking, and asset management due to its long-range capabilities. HF RFID, on the other hand, is commonly employed in access control, contactless payment systems, and healthcare for patient identification and tracking medical supplies.

OHEL technologies provides the flexibility of choosing between UHF and HF sensing capabilities in our products depending on your business needs; this flexibility is one of the differentiators for OHEL technologies. Factors such as read range, environmental conditions, data transfer speed, cost considerations, and intended applications are pivotal in determining the optimal choice between UHF and HF RFID technologies. Our customizable solutions are tailor fit for each client.
