[@zaaraftz]

Great Video. Thanks. You mentionned in the video that the NFC can be considered a derivative from RFID; so can their readers be similar? like the Manual scanners.?

[@BlueBite]

Hello, great question! Long story short: RFID and NFC require different readers because they operate at different frequencies. For specific similarities and differences we put together this blog post (below) that could be helpful as it lists the type of readers for each technology. I hope this helps. www.bluebite.com/nfc/rfid-vs-nfc

[@pastorcharlesndambia]

Superb

[@mohmed9900]

Hi I won't to know if there company can build a system to can be used for buss or train by nfc or rfid because I'm working on something like that but I don't have much information.

[@justinmelis]

Great video. 2 questions. 1) which is most commonly used in home smart locks, rfid or nfc? 2) can you program a chip rfid/nfc to carry off multiple functions, ie. Unlock a door when near the lock or and display contact information when placed near a smart phone?

[@BlueBite]

Hello and thank you! 1. Most smart locks use NFC but usually not in a format that can be read by your smartphone. But apple is looking to change this with their latest software update. Take a look: www.macrumors.com/2020/05/04/carkey-digital-key-specification-released/ 2. RFID and NFC tags can only be programmed to a single ID. Meaning they can only serve one purpose. This is where our platform comes in. We allow a single tag to serve multiple purposes depending on what device interacts. I hope this helps!

[@SandraWuerthner]

With one of my rfid implants (its High Frequency) I can unlock my computer, tablet and smartphone - this works with the UID of the chip. With the small NDEF storage space I can share my vCard . If i like to share my link to instagram i must reprogram the chip with my smartphone (NFC Tools) In Sweden you can use the implant to link to your SJ Prio account, so you have your trainticket on your implant.

[@VinnytotheK]

@@SandraWuerthner That is concerning.

[@ramonamin8674]

Which type of card commonly used in elevator card system? and in which frequency?

[@charlespierce9064]

Excellent. If I want to know if something is in say a room, then do I understand I would have to use a rfid tag? Because the nfc only has a range of 10 cm? And further, does this mean I would have to have a specialized rfid reader and not, say an iPhone with IOS 13? Thanks.

[@BlueBite]

Hello, great question. Yes you would need to use RFID or a Bluetooth beacon. Impinj makes omnidirectional RFID readers that can locate items in a room with 90%+ accuracy. You would also need a separate RFID reader as phones do not read RFID. Hope this helps!

[@dtadetayo]

Those that mean the banks are using the NFC tag. Like Master Card, Verve. I'm working on a project at school. Any help on this question. Thanks.

[@Tariq371]

thanks

[@vedant6633]

What is the technical difference between RFID and NFC , is it mostly the operating frequency or the RF communication protocol?

[@SharipovAbrorbek]

which card is best for check in and check out of the students?

[@emmahall3460]

Is there any reason that nfc and rfid can’t be in one device like a card / chip?

[@ceticamente]

Damn you are good!

[@michaelfassil631]

i was confused About RFID and NFC and now its clear but how about UHF passive.

[@shahzebkhurshid7862]

Does variation in model make it tricky to read an NFC? I mean can the same reader be used to read different models of NFC? Are NFCs in debit card same as NFCs in mobile phones and metro cards (like newyork metro card)

[@BlueBite]

Hi Shahzeb, thanks for watching. For use cases like payments and access, reader requirements can be complex due to security. For applications where users tap a phone to an NFC tag in a product, it depends on the phone model -- most Androids are natively compatible, though some iPhones currently require a third party app to read NFC.

[@gr8vijay]

Ideally, an NFC reader in mobile, should be able to read most of the NFC standards. There are multiple NFC standards (Type A, Type B, Type F, etc). NFCs in debit cards are known as "Tags". NFCs in mobiles are known as Reader/Controller. Tags usually support only one NFC standard (like ISO 14443). Mobile NFCs supports multiple NFC standards. Tags themselves are of 5 types (Type 1, ..., Type 5) depending on spec. Following link will give you some idea about NFC. www.electronics-notes.com/articles/connectivity/nfc-near-field-communication/tags-types.php

[@estebanod]

Ok French highways there's a card u can have that opens the customs so I assume it's long-range RFID (so active)?

[@guynouri]

Swift clear overview

[@MrSarhussain]

Question:- it there any application on iPhone that I can use as RFID Tag (to open main door..... don't want to keep card in my pocket all the time.)

[@BlueBite]

Hello, there doesn't seem to be an app that lets you open doors, etc. However, in some colleges and universities, you can add your Student id to your Apple Wallet and use it to gain access to your dorm, gym, library, etc. support.apple.com/en-us/HT208965

[@DylanStead]

Can you have an nfc and rfid tag on the same item without complications? Or could the nfc tag absorb the same uses as the rfid tag?

[@BlueBite]

Hello! Great question. Yes - You can have both NFC and RFID on the same item. In fact there are dual frequency tags that work with both NFC & RFID simultaneously.

[@peipeizhang9477]

For sure. The double frequency can be designed on antenna.

[@seleman-MW]

[@peipeizhang9477]

Hi! You aren talking about the positioning. As so far either RFID or NFC can do it for your credit card(too smal, can't be installed positioning signal card), but for boxes or hamlet(for mine worker) yes.

[@fusion360_tutorials_]

Can I use my smartphone as an RFID reader? I heard that HF RFID can be read by a smartphone, however not able to find any credible source

[@NK__NK__NK]

Do NFC tags emit any radiation?

[@marjoriedesinor1357]

Is it good to have your nfc n payment on at all times? And can it be used as tracking data..like gps

[@VinnytotheK]

It cannot be used to track you, but I wouldn't say it's necessarily safe to have NFC payment 'on' at all times, though it's very rarily actually active, unless you go into a specific window of an app.

[@marjoriedesinor1357]

@@VinnytotheK let me tell you - why was my phone downloading on its own - only noticed it when I picked it up to check my messages, no notifications sound, volume goes on n off up n down...it's like the phone is possessed. Been complaining about my phone is remotely compromised and I mostly get spam likely and robotcalls. My locations turned on whenever I restart the phone. Life is complicated, unfair and hard enough without hackers making living life more impossible to enjoy. Thank you for taking the time to reply. 👍😁💯

[@VinnytotheK]

​@@marjoriedesinor1357 Of course! Yeah I agree with you :( My laptop was recently hacked, and I'm still dealing with it. They got into my KZbin account, Steam account, tried getting into my bank account, bought stuff from my Amazon account, and now have been spamming my email nonstop. I still don't know exactly what to do about it. I had to completely erase my computer and reinstall Windows, reset all my passwords, etc. In your case I think your phone could possibly be hacked and could be remotely controlled somehow, even though I don't know exactly how that'd work. The best thing I think you could do would be to backup all your photos, data, documents, etc. onto a PC or a cloud service, and then completely factory reset your phone. Hopefully that would fix whatever is wrong with it, or make whoever might have access to it lose access. I hope we both can get these things figured out!

[@mistahke]

well, well, well, we have RFID clothes tags that are used now by e.g Decathlon, where you just throw all your goodies into the basket at the self checkout and it calculates the total to be paid based on rfid tags.

[@davidia8000]

I believe it is also possible to use NFC for tracking correct, obviously creating an app an and storing it in the server, can it be done?

Nope.

I didnt really understand what the difference was. You talked about the different use cases. But whats actually the difference between the two? They operate at different frequencies? So why not just have RFID with an additional frequency instead of inventing a whole new technology called NFC?

"NFC is small inexpensive and can be embedded into products, which is one of the major differences between `RFID and NFC." 3:20 did not believe what you were reading. this offers no clarity on the actual difference between the capabilities of these technologies. only that NFC is a limited version of RFID, so what are the major differences between data transfer and handling if both NFC and RFID tags contain an antenna, radio chip and memory bank

[@gr8vijay]

RFID can read tags which are 50ft away. NFC works within 10cm distance. NFC works based on inductive coupling. RFID uses Radiowaves for communication.
