Passive Ultra-High Frequency (UHF) Wristbands (860 – 960 MHz)

UHF frequencies are regulated by a global standard called the EPC Global Gen2 (ISO 18000-6C) UHF standard. Europe uses 868 MHz for UHF and the USA uses 915 MHz. It is important to note this difference when ordering wristbands.

Passive UHF tags typically read at about 3-8 meters, however, passive UHF wristbands usually read at circa 30 cm because of the body shielding affect. UHF wristbands are typically more expensive than LF or HF ones, so by choosing the right wristband or bracelet for your application you can keep costs under control. UHF frequencies typically offer better range and can transfer data faster but use more power and are less likely to pass through materials. Signals   tend to be directional and require a clear path between wristband and reader.

Typical Applications: Membership access control, sports and race timing applications, production line worker identification and tracking, contact tracing.
