RFID Formats & Technologies
How Does RFID Work?
RFID or “Radio-frequency identification” is a method of storing information on a very small chip which is then able to be read by the appropriate reader. The fobs that contain the chip holding the information are passive, meaning that there is no battery or power source in the fob itself, rather the reader provides the power to the fob. The chip itself is connected to an antenna that is activated when brought into a working range with the matching reader; the reader then provides power to the antenna which enables the data on the chip to be transmitted to the reader. The amount of information that the chip stores depends entirely on the technology, however, the chip is normally chosen dependent on the amount of information needed for each application.

Member safety is also increased with the use of access control as only authorized members are able to access the center helping to create the safest possible environment for members.
