About Anti-Metal RFID-NFC Tags

Anti-metal RFID tags (aka on-metal RFID tags) are specialized RFID tags that can be read from conductive surfaces, such as metal (something that regular RFID tags can’t do).

What is Near Field Communication (NFC)?

NFC is an acronym for Near Field Communication. NFC is a somewhat recent ‘labeling’ for a subset of RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) for short-range, wireless protocols. While NFC type RFID can apply to low frequency (LF), high frequency (HF), and ultra-high frequency (UHF) types, it’s most commonly associated with HF and used for close-range applications (hence the “near field”). NFC has some features that distinguish it from other forms of RFID, such as the capacity for bidirectional peer-to-peer communication. This article, An Introduction to NFC, is part of a series of articles intending
