If you have ever waved a card or fob in front of a door to get in, you have likely used an RFID door entry system. These systems are now standard in offices, apartment buildings, gated communities, and even gyms. But what is RFID, how does it work, and why is it one of the most reliable access control technologies available today? In this beginner friendly guide, we break down everything you need to know about RFID door entry systems.
RFID stands for Radio Frequency Identification. It is a wireless communication technology that uses radio waves to identify and authenticate objects or people. An RFID system consists of two main components:
When the RFID tag comes close to the reader, it transmits its ID. The reader sends this information to the access control system, which checks if the credential is valid. If it is, the system unlocks the door and logs the event.
RFID door entry systems work through contactless communication. Here is how a typical interaction looks:
This entire process takes less than a second, making RFID both fast and secure.
