Semi-Passive RFID Tags

Semi-Passive RFID Tags (also known as semi-active or battery-assisted passive (BAP) tags) are an innovative solution in the RFID technology landscape. These tags are based on the same principles as passive tags but include a battery that enhances their capabilities. This battery not only extends the communication range but also increases tag memory and, in some cases, allows for the integration of sensors. This makes Semi-Passive RFID Tags particularly valuable for applications where additional data collection or longer read distances are required.

Typically, semi-passive tags utilize the same Gen 2 protocol as passive tags, ensuring interoperability with current passive Gen 2 readers. This compatibility means that businesses can seamlessly integrate Semi-Passive RFID Tags into their existing RFID infrastructure without the need for significant upgrades.
