Unlocking the Power of MIFARE 1K Cards: Who Gains the Most?

Exploring the Advantages of RFID Technology

Wenn es darum geht RFID (radio frequency identification), everyone has heard of it more or less. And NFC (near field communication) is actually a derivative technology based on RFID. Although many people often confuse the two concepts, in simple terms, NFC is like the “close-range communication expert” in the RFID family.

In RFID technology, the derived products are mainly divided into three categories:

• Passive RFID products

• Active RFID products

• Semi-active RFID products

According to the working mode of RFID tags (Tags), they can be further divided into passiv, aktiv, Und semi-active. Among them, the most common are passiv products.

We are most exposed to this type of product in daily life, and the MIFARE Classic 1K card (also called M1 card oder S50 card) is one of the representatives.
