1.     Low Frequency RFID

Low-frequency (LF) RFID systems operate in the frequency band of 125 kHz or 134 kHz, which makes them ideal for applications where the tags are placed on objects with high water or metal contents, as LF systems have the strongest ability to read these tags. LF systems tend to be less sensitive to interference than higher frequencies. However, LF RFID systems can read at shorter ranges (< 0.5m or 1.5 ft) and slower read speeds than the higher frequencies.
