Smart card readers operate at various frequencies depending on the type of card they are designed to read. Here are some common frequencies:
- 13.56 MHz: This is the most common frequency for contactless smart cards, often used in applications like public transportation, access control, and payment systems.
- 125 kHz: This frequency is used for older proximity cards, often found in older access control systems.
- 860-960 MHz: This frequency range is used for some newer contactless smart cards that offer increased security and range.
The specific frequency of a smart card reader is determined by the type of card it is designed to read. You can find the frequency information in the reader's specifications or by contacting the manufacturer.
