Whether you are looking for RFID hardware or a complete RFID solution, RAMP can meet all your RFID hardware requirements through our industry partnerships with a range of leading global best-of-breed hardware manufacturers including IDENTEC SOLUTIONS, CSL, Toshiba Tec, SATO, Impinj, Tracient, GHL and others.
We use two fundamentally different technologies, Active RFID and Passive RFID. Both use radio frequency to communicate between a reader and a tag but the method is quite different. Active RFID readers and antennas receive a signal generated autonomously by a tag (beacon) or the reader sends a message to a tag and the tag sends a response, whereas Passive RFID readers and antennas provide all of the power* required to “wake up” a tag and transmit data back to the reader. In addition we have other RFID hardware such as Position Makers and RFID Printers that allow us to provide complete solutions for every scenario.

RAMP’s range of passive RFID hardware includes both High Frequency (HF) and Ultra High Frequency (UHF) passive RFID readers, antennas, position markers and printers. HF readers operate at a globally accepted frequency of 13.56MHz and work on the principle of inductive coupling. That means that energy is transferred from the reader to the tag through a shared magnetic field. The amount of transferred energy is proportional to the size of the antennas (transmitting and receiving) in addition to the tag’s ability to operate at the resonance frequency. Typically this limits tag read range to between a few cm and a maximum of 1m. UHF RFID hardware, which operates in the 860 - 960MHz range, allows for shorter antennas and far longer read distances – up to 35m. UHF tags communicate with the reader using backscatter technology - meaning that the tag communicates with the reader by modulating the received signal and radiating it back to the reader.
RAMP RFID Solutions offer a range of Ultra High Frequency (UHF) Gen 2 Passive RFID readers, antennas & RFID Printers in order to provide a broad range of solutions for our clients. Applications include asset tracking, inventory tracking, people tracking and vehicle tracking. UHF Gen 2 RFID hardware includes; readers, antennas and printers which operate on the global EPC Gen 2 standard at a global frequency range of between 860MHz and 960MHz or a regional subset such as 915MHz for USA, Australia and most of Asia or 868MHz for Europe, NZ and parts of Asia.
UHF Gen 2 readers have a read range of between 1cm and more than 35m – depending on the specific tag and the environment in which it is being read.
