Tags that can be embedded in humans or animals are either low-frequency (LF) or high-frequency (HF). These tags generally have a short read range—under 3 feet. Some vendors that manufacture tags for implementation advertise a read range of 18 inches, but the actual read range is probably closer to 6 inches.
