# UHF RFID Reader Tarkov: My Journey from Gaming to Real-World Tech As a long-time player of *Escape from Tarkov*, I've always been fascinated by the game's intricate simulation of technology, including its depiction of **UHF RFID readers**. My personal experience in the game, scouring locations like Interchange for valuable loot locked behind RFID-controlled doors, sparked a genuine curiosity about how this technology works in reality. This curiosity evolved from a gaming interest into a professional passion, leading me to explore and eventually work with real-world UHF RFID systems. ## Understanding UHF RFID Technology ### What is a UHF RFID Reader? An Ultra-High Frequency (UHF) RFID reader is a device that wirelessly communicates with RFID tags using radio waves in the 860-960 MHz frequency band. Unlike the simplified version in *Tarkov*, real readers are complex devices for inventory management, access control, and logistics. ## Technical Specifications of a Modern UHF RFID Reader Here are the detailed technical parameters for a high-performance fixed **UHF RFID reader**, based on common industry standards. *Please note: These technical parameters are for reference data only.
