What is the difference between RFID and NFC?

NFC (Near Field Communication) is a subset of HF RFID technology.

The main differences include:

• NFC operates at 13.56 MHz and supports two-way communication.
• RFID includes LF, HF, and UHF technologies with different reading ranges.
• NFC is commonly used for mobile payments, electronic business cards, and smartphone interactions.
• UHF RFID is better suited for long-range identification and bulk reading applications.

Choosing between RFID and NFC depends on your application's communication range and functionality requirements.
