Core Technology & Performance Questions
Q: What is an NXP UCODE HSL RFID card and why is it special?
A: The NXP UCODE HSL is a classic UHF RFID chip renowned for its exceptional, long-distance reading capabilities. It was designed for high-performance applications where read range and reliability are critical, such as in complex supply chain and logistics environments.
Q: What is the typical read range of a UCODE HSL card?
A: It can typically reach up to 7-10 meters (23-33 feet) under ideal conditions. The final read distance depends heavily on the specific RFID reader, the size and type of the antenna, and environmental factors like interference.
Q: How reliable is the UCODE HSL chip in challenging environments?
A: The UCODE HSL chip provides industry-leading RF performance and features an advanced anti-collision function, which allows a reader to communicate with multiple cards in the field at once. This ensures consistent and reliable reads for demanding applications like warehouse inventory or container tracking.
Compatibility & Technical Details Questions
Q: Are UCODE HSL cards compatible with all standard UHF readers?
A: UCODE HSL is an EPC Class 1 Gen 1 chip. Ensure your reader supports Gen 1 for compatibility.
Q: Can UCODE HSL RFID cards be used with NFC-enabled phones?
A: No, UCODE HSL operates at 860–960 MHz, incompatible with NFC’s 13.56 MHz frequency.
Ucode HSL Memory & Security
Q: How much memory does the UCODE HSL chip have?
A: It features a large 2048-bit memory, which provides ample space for storing extended product information, shipping details, or maintenance records in addition to the standard EPC code.
Q: How do UCODE HSL cards protect my data from unauthorized scanning?
A: The chip’s memory is protected by user-definable access conditions and passwords. This allows you to lock memory banks and prevent data from being overwritten or read without proper authorization. For added security in public environments, storing cards in an RFID-blocking wallet or sleeve is also recommended.
