RFID in the wild :rfid_hadouken:

This is probably not worth the thread, but let’s see where it goes…

Think of this as a sister thread to:

RFID in "UNUSUAL" places

I thought I might start a simple thread containg just as the title suggests. Most people see RFID in common places like, Payment, Access, NFC sharing etc. But as you will see below, there are some examples of RFID in “UNUSUAL” places I’m thinking more about the HF and LF tech, but if you want to share UHF, go right ahead

RFID can also be found in more likely places

I popped into a KFC today

I noticed on my way in, A Salto on the door, I was surprised to see this particular lock on a commercial premises.
Although, it probably only gets used ~twice a day
(opening and closing)

I tapped my diagnostic card to the lock, and for a battery powered device, it had a rapid duty cycle (Not recorded, but pulsed ~twice a second) and what looked to be surprisingly powerful pulse

Then I noticed a more commercial Salto reader to access the kitchen

Saw this on the locker where you leave your personal effects before entering an escape room. I thought it was the IKEA one but it’s not as square and it’s not white. Worked fine.
