This is not a passive RF ID tag, but rather an active
transponder, similar in concept to the FasTrak
tool bridge unit. It's designed to be used in situations where
there are many similar transponders nearby, i.e. in a network of
transponders, like a warehouse.
There is a user replaceable LS 17500 3.6V battery.
Tx: 433.92 MHz, FSK dev +/- 50 kHz, 27.8 kbps, 300 meter range
Rx: 123 kHz, ASK On-Off Keying, 1.6 Kbps 50% duty cycle, Range:
4' or 12' depending on the Savi reader being used

NFC is another name for an RFID that can be activated using a
13.56 MHz CW signal. There is a problem in that every time
the NFC gets enough power it will send it's message.
This means someone can have a transmitter in a backpack, briefcase
or in their clothes and if they can get close to you read your NFC
data. If you're using your NFC like a credit card then they
are capturing your credit card information. There are
"Wallets" that block the CW signal and/or the signal from the
credit card to prevent this abuse, but they are not a solution for
a cell phone since blocking it's NFC capability probably also
would keep it from receiving incoming calls.
I learned about this in relation to Google Cardboard (Official web page,
YouTube Intro) where they use an NFC tag to configure the phone
for virtual reality in landscape, turn off the information bars
and maybe start a VR app.
My Motorola
Electrify 2 (XT881) does not have NFC.
Also see NFC on my Cell Phone web page.
