Every NFC link is built on inductive coupling between two small antenna coils, and a passive NFC device sitting in that field can do two things at once: exchange data and draw energy (near-field communication standards, ISO/IEC 18092 and ISO/IEC 14443). A battery-free lock pushes the second capability to its logical end. The phone is both...]]></description><link>https://www.kenrone.com/post/nfc-energy-harvesting</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a576f7b6db0bd01f4c30a52</guid><category><![CDATA[Technology Explained]]></category><category><![CDATA[NFC Battery-free Lock Basics]]></category><pubDate>Wed, 15 Jul 2026 12:13:24 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/970c3e_9370c2fd6fd248029e5debc19f279d5e~mv2.webp/v1/fit/w_1000,h_941,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Hudson</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[NFC vs RFID vs Bluetooth: Which Lock Technology Wins?]]></title><description><![CDATA[The short answer: NFC is not a competitor to RFID — it is a specialized subset of it.  NFC (near field communication) is built on high-frequency RFID at 13.56 MHz, adds two-way communication, and works over roughly 4 cm (ISO/IEC 18092 and related standards). RFID is the broader family, spanning three frequency bands with read ranges from centimeters to ten meters. Bluetooth is a different technology entirely — a battery-dependent radio link designed for continuous connections. That...]]></description><link>https://www.kenrone.com/post/nfc-vs-rfid-vs-bluetooth</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a50b8d7661479e527e116eb</guid><category><![CDATA[NFC Battery-free Lock Basics]]></category><pubDate>Fri, 10 Jul 2026 09:54:53 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/970c3e_54f18d01d43348a9a07192a5f46c9812~mv2.webp/v1/fit/w_1000,h_944,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Hudson</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[What is an NFC lock? How It Works &#38; Why Battery-Free Wins]]></title><description><![CDATA[An NFC lock is an electronic lock that authenticates users through near-field communication (NFC) — a short-range wireless standard operating at 13.56 MHz over a range of roughly 4 cm (ISO/IEC 18092 and NFC Forum standards). Tap an NFC-enabled phone or card against the lock, the credential is verified, and the mechanism opens. Some designs go further: they carry no battery at all, drawing their operating power from the phone's NFC field itself. A lock with no battery, no wiring, and no...]]></description><link>https://www.kenrone.com/post/what-is-an-nfc-lock</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a43ab5dde1908b1cec6f373</guid><category><![CDATA[NFC Battery-free Lock Basics]]></category><pubDate>Wed, 08 Jul 2026 08:37:06 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/970c3e_d3da2ed9df904ddfb94ecc584bb22b71~mv2.webp/v1/fit/w_1000,h_944,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Andy</dc:creator></item></channel></rss>
