What is a UHF RFID Tag?

A UHF RFID tag is a small electronic label operating in the ultra-high frequency band (860-960MHz) that stores a unique ID and communicates wirelessly with an RFID reader. UHF tags offer the longest read range of any RFID type - up to 8-12 meters - and support fast batch reading, making them ideal for retail inventory, supply chain logistics and asset tracking.
