RFID technology transmits data through radio waves that have a different range of frequencies. The frequency may be low, high, or ultra-high. In maximum cases, compatible components are designed for a particular frequency. For example, to read tags operating on a particular frequency, the same range of readers is designed to ensure compatibility. But, there is also a reader available that can read tags working on every type of frequency. This reader is called an agile RFID reader. This avoids miscommunication between an antenna inside a tag and the reader.
The agile RFID readers are designed to operate in every type of frequencies. Thus, these readers help to increase efficiency and accuracy. The readers are flexible, multi-protocol, and multi-frequency readers that can simultaneously identify tags in the different frequency ranges. In other words, It does its function by going beyond the fixed limits of a normal RFID reader. These can integrate with the antennas with better connectivity. There are many advantages of using an agile reader, such as high range, low power requirement, adaptability to different frequencies, integration with various types of components, ability to read tags from different manufacturers, etc. Most importantly, the readers use complex data and signal processing infrastructure and also support advanced software. These can be used in the field where there is a need to affix tags that operate in varied frequencies such as pharmaceuticals and healthcare, supply chain management, inventory tracking, manufacturing tracking, retail management, etc. Nowadays, maximum RFID readers are designed for multi-protocol and multi-tag readings.
