RFID(Radio-FrequencyIdentification) designates the contact-free data exchange between an RFID transponder and an RFID writer/reader device. The RFID writer/reader device builds up a magnetic or electromagnetic field for data transmission purposes, which supplies the RFID transponder with energy. As long as the RFID transponder remains within the electromagnetic field of the RFID writer/reader device, data can be exchanged. Information can be read out from the chip in the RFID transponder, but also new data can be stored on the chip.
