Active transponder

An active transponder is a transponder with its own battery. This allows it to transmit its radio signal independently and means it does not rely solely on the field of an RFID reader. Compared with a passive transponder, this design usually enables greater read ranges, faster signal detection and additional functions such as sensing or condition monitoring. This design is mainly used where objects need to be identified over longer distances or tracked in real time, such as in intralogistics, for vehicles or across large operational sites. The use of active transponders is particularly suitable for the reliable identification of mobile assets across wider areas.
