WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN RFID AND NFC?

RFID technology can make longer distance measurements than NFC technology. And while hundreds of tags can be read at the same time with RFID, only one tag can be read at the same time with NFC. NFC technology is more secure than RFID technology.

IN WHICH AREAS IS RFID MOST COMMONLY USED?

We cannot say that the usage area of RFID technology is. RFID technology is used in every field depending on the imagination of the human brain. The most common areas of use are areas where access control and asset tracking are performed.
