Let’s start by asking…

WHAT IS A DESKTOP RFID READER?

If you already know the answer, go to the next question, otherwise keep reading 

A desktop (or integrated) RFID reader is powered and controlled directly via a USB cable, thus enabling quick and easy reading/writing of the tag in a desktop environment.

The reading distance usually ranges from 10 cm for HF devices, up to one and a half meters for UHF ones.

In practice, they can act as input devices. So, if the tag gets close to the reader, some actions are triggered on the computer, to which the reader is connected.

The distinctive feature is the integrated antenna, which allows a much easier installation than fixed readers.

Another quality are the compact dimensions. This combined with, the low cost and interesting basic features, makes desktop RFID readers a good choice to consider for those who need a small, cheap, and not too powerful reader.
