UHF RFID Standards

UHF RFID is comprised of a set of standards defining the working interaction of the technology from the physical layer through the communication, data formatting and application layers. These standards ensure that UHF RFID tags, UHF RFID devices and UHF RFID software from different manufacturers can work interoperably. Most standards are governed by the ISO or GS1.
