Does the Keysmart SmartCard Tracker Card Work Inside an RFID Wallet?

Understanding RFID-Blocking Wallets

An RFID-blocking wallet is designed to block radio waves used by RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) chips.

• RFID-blocking material (usually metal or specialized fabrics) creates a shield around your cards, preventing RFID readers from accessing data.
• This protects contactless credit cards, ID cards, and other RFID-enabled items from unauthorized scanning.
  
  

How Does the Keysmart SmartCard Tracker Work?

The Keysmart SmartCard Tracker isn’t an RFID device. Instead, it relies on Bluetooth technology and integrates with Apple’s Find My network to help you locate your wallet. Here’s how it works:

• The tracker emits a Bluetooth signal that your phone detects.
• When connected to Apple’s Find My app, it helps you find your wallet via Bluetooth range or through the wider Find My network.
• This technology is completely different from RFID, which relies on passive radio waves.

Will the Keysmart Tracker Work in an RFID Wallet?

Yes, the Keysmart SmartCard Tracker will work inside an RFID-blocking wallet because:

1. Bluetooth Signals Are Unaffected: RFID-blocking wallets only block radio waves used by RFID technology, not Bluetooth signals.
   
   
2. Different Frequencies: RFID operates on a different frequency (13.56 MHz), while Bluetooth operates in the 2.4 GHz range, which is not blocked by RFID shields.
   
   
3. Apple Find My Integration: The tracker’s connection to the Apple Find My network works seamlessly, regardless of whether it’s inside an RFID wallet.

Why Is This Important for You?

If you use both RFID-blocking wallets for card protection and the Keysmart SmartCard Tracker for locating your wallet, you get the best of both worlds:

• Protection against RFID skimming
• A reliable way to track and locate your wallet.

How to Use the Keysmart SmartCard Tracker with Your RFID Wallet

Here are a few tips to ensure optimal performance:

1. Keep the Tracker in a Central Slot: Place the SmartCard Tracker in a card slot that’s easy to access for convenience.
   
   
2. Check Bluetooth Connectivity: Before heading out, ensure your phone’s Bluetooth is on and the Keysmart Tracker is connected to the Find My app.
   
   
3. Test the Range: To ensure everything works as expected, test the tracker inside your RFID wallet at home or nearby.

The Keysmart SmartCard Tracker works perfectly fine inside an RFID-blocking wallet because Bluetooth technology is unaffected by RFID shields. This means you can enjoy both the safety of an RFID wallet and the smart tracking capabilities of the Keysmart SmartCard.
