NFC vs RFID - Nipping it in the bud

There is a common misconception about what the terms RFID and NFC mean. This misconception is widespread enough that it pops up in threads quite regularly so I am making this wiki page for people to link to when needed to “nip it in the bud”. Short Version: RFID is the general class of technologies used in most of the Dangerous Things implants (Excluding the xGLO and magnet implants like the xG3 and m31). NFC (Near Field Communication) is a subset of RFID that uses the 13.56 MHz frequency. W…

@Nimus

but do reads effect the chips lifespan?

Put it this way, There is nothing to worry about, It will live long after you…
Bear with me, I will find you the official answer from Amal.

-How many years can it last?

The materials of the xNT will last your lifetime. The chip inside has two factors that govern “life” - data retention and write cycle count .
Data retention is how long a memory block will retain the data that is written to it before the storage medium loses bits and bytes to fading electrical charges. If you write data to memory block 02, that memory block can hold that data reliably for 10 years. If you write new data (or “refresh” the same data) at the 9 year point, then the data will last another 10 years in that memory block. Writing data to a memory block “resets” data retention.

Write cycle count is how many times a memory block can be written to before it can no longer reliably store data. The NTAG216 chip in the xNT has a data retention of 10 years and a cycle count of 100k. So, if you wrote data to the xNT once per day, the chip would last 273.9726 years… or, if you wrote data to the chip once every 10 years (the end of the data retention period), the chip would last 10,000 years
