Paper vs. Electronics, RFID vs. barcode - Electronic labels and RFID go their way
Active transponder


The original form of the transponder technology
Depending on the application (for example RFID gate, RFID Kanban, RFID shelf or RFID forklift) we select the matching antennas. Solconia are antennas in various sizes, types and designs available. Our antennas have in interaction with our readers and APs outstanding transmit and receive performance. Extensive mounting and Integration Kits allow virtually anywhere optimum positioning and alignment.
In addition to selecting the right aperture angle and et al resulting antenna gain (by increasing the radiation density) is the selection of antenna polarization decisive for the success. A distinction is made between linear and circular polarization.
Advantages
Active tags have over passive transponders have their own power supply (battery, battery or external power or on-board network), as well as intelligent processor and memory chips. They therefore offer the following advantages:
- faster communication
- greater ranges
- greater data storage
- optional very accurate location functionality
- sensors integrated
- better security concepts possible
Due to the very high safety standards and the optional positioning functionality make active transponder systems the first choice as Auto-ID in the following applications:
- Security systems
- Access control systems
- immobilizers
- tolling
- Radio scanner location
- Personnel tracking
- vehicle tracking
- vehicle tracking
- Container management
