Frecuencia y rango de lectura<\/h3>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The 5 technical differences that matter<\/h2>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>RFID HF (Mifare, NFC):<\/strong> 13,56 MHz \u00b7 rango 1 cm \u2013 1 m seg\u00fan antena.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>RFID LF (125 kHz \u2013 EM, Temic, HID Prox):<\/strong> hasta 1 m, lectores sencillos, muy implantado en legacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>RFID UHF (860\u2013960 MHz):<\/strong> rango de 3 a 15 m seg\u00fan antena, usado para inventario y trazabilidad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Seguridad y criptograf\u00eda<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">NFC y RFID HF soportan criptograf\u00eda robusta (AES, 3DES, Mifare DESFire EV2). Esto permite tarjetas pr\u00e1cticamente in clonables. RFID LF en su variante b\u00e1sica (HID Prox 125 kHz) es vulnerable a clonaci\u00f3n con dispositivos de 20 \u20ac, por eso est\u00e1 migr\u00e1ndose hacia HF\/UHF en proyectos nuevos.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Is it NFC or RFID?&#8221; We are asked this every week. <strong>The confusion is understandable: both are radio frequency identification technologies, but they operate at very different frequencies, ranges, and use cases.<\/strong> In this article, we explain the five differences that matter when choosing your access control system and why the correct answer is almost never &#8220;one or the other,&#8221; but rather &#8220;both, each in its place.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Las tarjetas NFC pueden almacenar varios KB con datos estructurados (credenciales, biometr\u00eda encriptada, monedero). Las tarjetas LF almacenan \u00fanicamente un ID. La diferencia es la que permite usar NFC para acceso + pagos + transporte en una sola tarjeta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Uso del dispositivo m\u00f3vil<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Solo NFC permite usar el m\u00f3vil como credencial (Apple Wallet, Google Wallet, llaves de coche y edificios digitales). RFID UHF y LF no son accesibles desde un smartphone est\u00e1ndar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Coste y ecosistema<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Las tarjetas LF son m\u00e1s baratas y siguen siendo v\u00e1lidas en sistemas legacy. Las NFC cuestan un poco m\u00e1s pero ofrecen seguridad, multifuncionalidad y vida \u00fatil mayor. Las etiquetas UHF son baratas (0,10\u20130,30 \u20ac) y se usan para pallets, activos, ropa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tabla resumen: NFC vs RFID<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"scroll-tabla\"><figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Caracter\u00edstica<\/th><th>NFC<\/th><th>RFID HF (13,56 MHz)<\/th><th>RFID LF (125 kHz)<\/th><th>RFID UHF (860\u2013960 MHz)<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>Frecuencia<\/strong><\/td><td>13,56 MHz<\/td><td>13,56 MHz<\/td><td>125\u2013134 kHz<\/td><td>860\u2013960 MHz<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Rango t\u00edpico<\/strong><\/td><td>< 10 cm<\/td><td>1 cm \u2013 1 m<\/td><td>Hasta 1 m<\/td><td>3 \u2013 15 m<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Criptograf\u00eda<\/strong><\/td><td>S\u00ed (AES)<\/td><td>S\u00ed (DESFire EV2)<\/td><td>B\u00e1sica \/ vulnerable<\/td><td>Opcional<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Memoria<\/strong><\/td><td>Alta (varios KB)<\/td><td>Media<\/td><td>Solo ID<\/td><td>Media (EPC + datos)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Compatible m\u00f3vil<\/strong><\/td><td>S\u00ed<\/td><td>Limitado<\/td><td>No<\/td><td>No<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Uso t\u00edpico<\/strong><\/td><td>Accesos + pagos<\/td><td>Accesos seguros<\/td><td>Legacy accesos<\/td><td>Inventario, pal\u00e9s<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u00bfCu\u00e1ndo usar cada uno en control de accesos?<\/h2>\n\n\nNFC vs RFID: 5 key differences in access control\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>RFID LF (125 kHz)<\/strong> is retained only in legacy systems where thousands of cards have already been issued. Migrating to 13.56 MHz usually recoups the cost in less than 18 months due to reduced incidents.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>RFID UHF<\/strong> no compite con NFC para control de accesos personal: est\u00e1 pensado para leer tags a distancia (pal\u00e9s, activos, ropa en tienda). Lo ver\u00e1s combinado con NFC en proyectos log\u00edsticos avanzados.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Preguntas frecuentes sobre NFC y RFID<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u00bfNFC y RFID son lo mismo?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No. NFC es una tecnolog\u00eda concreta dentro de la familia RFID. RFID engloba cualquier identificaci\u00f3n por radio (LF, HF, UHF, microondas). NFC siempre trabaja a 13,56 MHz y a muy corto alcance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u00bfPuedo usar el m\u00f3vil como tarjeta de acceso?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">S\u00ed, pero solo con tecnolog\u00eda NFC. La mayor\u00eda de smartphones actuales soportan NFC y permiten almacenar credenciales digitales de acceso en Apple Wallet o Google Wallet. Necesitas un lector NFC actualizado y un sistema que permita emitir credenciales m\u00f3viles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u00bfLas tarjetas RFID de 125 kHz son seguras?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Las versiones b\u00e1sicas (HID Prox, EM4100) son vulnerables a clonaci\u00f3n. Existen versiones encriptadas (HID iClass) pero son m\u00e1s caras. La recomendaci\u00f3n actual del sector es migrar a Mifare DESFire EV2 (13,56 MHz) en cualquier proyecto nuevo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u00bfQu\u00e9 tarjeta RFID me compro para mi empresa?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Si est\u00e1s empezando de cero, ve directamente a Mifare DESFire EV2 (13,56 MHz) en PVC o biodegradable. Si ya tienes un sistema LF y muchos usuarios, eval\u00faa la migraci\u00f3n gradual con lectores duales que acepten ambas tarjetas durante la transici\u00f3n.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How can I test NFC and RFID before buying?<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Is it NFC or RFID?&#8221; We get asked this every week. <strong>The confusion is understandable: both are radio frequency identification technologies, but they operate on very different frequencies, ranges, and use cases.<\/strong> In this article, we explain the five differences that matter when choosing your access control system and why the right answer is almost never &#8220;one or the other&#8221;, but &#8220;both, each in its place&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Siguiente paso<\/h2>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not sure which technology fits your access system?
