Short Range RFID Readers
Short-range RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) readers are devices designed to read RFID tags within a limited distance, typically up to several feet. These readers operate at frequencies ranging from 125 kHz to 2.45 GHz and are widely used across various industries for asset tracking, inventory management, access control, and other applications.
