Reliable UHF RFID Sticker Tags for Long-Range Vehicle Recognition
The UHF Passive Tracker Sticker is a high-performance RFID windshield tag designed for automatic vehicle identification, parking management, access control, and asset tracking applications. Using advanced UHF RFID technology, this passive sticker tag enables fast and reliable identification without batteries or external power sources.
Unlike GPS tracking devices, the UHF passive tracker sticker does not provide real-time location tracking. Instead, it works with UHF RFID readers to identify vehicles when they enter designated areas. This makes it an ideal solution for smart parking systems, gated communities, corporate vehicle management, toll collection, and industrial transportation applications.
With a compact design, strong adhesive performance, and customizable options, this RFID sticker provides a cost-effective identification solution for large-scale vehicle management systems.
What Is a UHF Passive Tracker Sticker?
A UHF Passive Tracker Sticker is a battery-free RFID tag operating in the ultra-high frequency range of 860–960 MHz. It contains an RFID antenna and integrated chip that stores unique identification information.
When a UHF RFID reader sends radio waves, the sticker absorbs energy from the signal and responds by transmitting stored data back to the reader.
The complete identification process includes:
- The RFID reader sends a UHF signal.
- The sticker receives energy from the electromagnetic field.
- The RFID chip activates and processes stored information.
- The tag sends the unique EPC or ID data back to the reader.
- The management system identifies the authorized vehicle.
Because no battery is required, the sticker offers a long service life and requires almost no maintenance.
Features:
1. Specialized inlays read well through windshield glass.
2. Read ranges of 30+ feet
3. Customized printing
4. Destructible option prevents unauthorized vehicles from using tags transferred from authorized vehicles.
