Miniature radio frequency identification tags (Radio-Frequency Identification Tags, RFID), long used to track the movement of supplies and stocks, in recent times have become increasingly used for labeling consumer goods. Advocates of private information claim that the devices pose a threat to those who "carry" them, often unaware of it.

Americans living in states bordering on Canada or Mexico already receive a driver's license that can be read remotely. For the introduction of such documents designed to identify US citizens crossing the border of the country, advocate the Department of Homeland Security. But those who are concerned about the security and integrity of the personal sphere should think twice before receiving such an identifier.


The average consumer may not suspect how many RFID tags he has with him. They are integrated into personal items and even into some garments.

Computers in recent years have become an integral part of our lives. We entrust them with more and more work in all areas. However, having taught a computer with commendable speed to process and securely store data, we have not yet solved the problem of collecting and entering information output into a computer control system by any process - be it production, trade, transportation, etc.

There are not so many technologies that bring with them drastic changes. RFID-systems are used in a variety of cases where you need to quickly and accurately control, track and account for the numerous movements of various objects.

Radio frequency recognition is carried out using special tags attached to the object, carrying identification and other information.

Since 2012, we have served clients from across the United States and Europe offering them services arranging from IoT and mobile app development to custom software development. Over the years, our staff has produced several hundred electronic devices of various complexities and our efforts are not going unnoticed. In their 2019 report on the top B2B companies in New York City, Clutch has named IQ Direct one of the top developers out of the thousands of companies listed on the platform. This is no small feat, and we’re proud of this accomplishment!

An RFID Tag is a small device for storing and transmitting information. It consists of a microchip and an antenna with which it transmits and receives information. There are RFID tags that have a built-in power source (active RFID tags), but the majority of the tags used today do not have a built-in power source (passive RFID tags).

A unique number and/or a certain amount of user memory is stored in the memory of the tag. When a tag enters the reading zone, this information is received by the RFID reader - a device capable of reading and writing information from the RFID tags, and transmitting to the computer or phone for further processing.
