NFC Forum Type 5

NFC Forum Type 5 tags are based on ISO 15693 (NFC-V, vicinity coupling), offering significantly longer read ranges than other NFC tag types — up to 1.5 meters with large antenna readers. Type 5 tags use 4-byte blocks and operate at variable data rates around 26 kbps. They are the standard for library management (SLIX/SLIX2), industrial asset tracking, and supply chain applications where longer range reading is more important than high speed.
