A ticketing token Public Transport: UWB or RFID?

2.4.6 What are the differences between RFID and UWB?

In our view, Ultra-Wide Band is the ‘perfect RFID’.

Higher accuracy: UWB can provide more accurate positioning data due to ToF method

• Lower power consumption

• Higher reliability: pulse emissions ensure that UWB does not interfere with other communications or is interfered with

Higher data rate: This will enable more complex messaging to be transferred in the future

• Lower latency: The very short impulses enable the reduction of the communication latency

• Low power output also makes UWB signals difficult to detect by unintended users The low duty cycle enables ultra-low power and increases resistance to jamming or interference
