Why choose RFID/NFC
-
Contactless scanning: fast and secure identification
-
Multiple frequency options: 125kHz, 13.56MHz, MIFARE
-
Works with Arduino, ESP32 & Pi: easy library support
Popular uses
- Access control & door locks
- Attendance & time logging
- Asset tracking & tagging
- Payment system prototyping
- Inventory & product scanning
RFID/NFC categories
125kHz RFID
- EM4100 cards & tags
- RFID 125kHz readers/modules
- Keyfobs & proximity tokens
13.56MHz NFC / MIFARE
- RC522 modules
- PN532 NFC readers
- ISO14443A/B compatible tags
RFID/NFC Accessories
- Adhesive tags & stickers
- Keycards & wristbands
- Antenna & reader modules
Tip: Use 13.56MHz NFC (PN532/RC522) for short-range security; use 125kHz RFID for longer scan distance and simpler ID tasks.

FAQ
What is the difference between RFID and NFC?
RFID (125kHz) has longer range and simpler IDs; NFC (13.56MHz) supports encryption, phone scanning, and secure access.
Is RC522 compatible with Arduino?
Yes—RC522 uses SPI and has widely available Arduino libraries.
Can smartphones scan these tags?
Phones can read NFC (13.56MHz) but not 125kHz RFID tags.
Do you ship nationwide?
Yes—fast delivery anywhere in the Philippines.
