BENEFITS OF PROXIMITY?

Many of us work at offices or complexes where we need to use a card and/or photo ID for gaining entrance.  But, very few of us know how it works so let us begin by defining the technology behind radio frequency identification (RFID).  This is a technology that communicates via radio waves exchanging data between a reader and a card or photo ID carried by a person for the purpose of identification.  This technology has evolved over the past two decades until RFID has become the preferred ID badge technology for collecting data, setting up door access, time clocks, point of sale and even computer login.  Contactless RFID offers the highest level of security and is difficult to duplicate.  Since the RFI card does not use exposed read heads or moving parts, they are more durable and last longer than the older magnetic strip or barcode technology.
