General notes on working with the UHF app version
All transponders have so-called communication protocols that control communication
between the reader and transponder. For transponders in the UHF frequency range (RF600
transponders), these communication rules are stored in EPCglobal UHF Class 1 Gen 2 and
valid for the protocols ISO 18000-62 and ISO 18000-63.
Transponder memory configuration
As a rule, each UHF transponder has 4 memory areas (memory banks) in which different,
memory area-specific information is stored.
