    {
      "question": "What read range can I expect when the wristband is worn on a wrist?",
      "answer": "On-body read range is typically 1-3 m on a standard 6 dBic patch antenna at FCC regulatory output, and 3-5 m on a 9 dBic high-gain panel at the same output. The human body absorbs UHF energy strongly at 902-928 MHz — bare-tag free-space tests over-state real-world performance by 4-7 dB. Proud Tek wristbands use body-detuned antenna design with a ferrite / silicone-foam isolation layer to recover most of that loss; reader-antenna gain provides the rest. Always validate site-specific range with a read-rate test at the target geometry — Proud Tek supplies a free test report on a standard Impinj R700 / Zebra FX9600 reader."
    },
    {
      "question": "Can UHF wristbands also be tapped by NFC phones?",
      "answer": "No — UHF operates at 860-960 MHz; NFC operates at 13.56 MHz. They are different physical layers and an NFC phone cannot read a UHF wristband. When a programme needs both hands-free long-range reading and NFC phone compatibility (theme-park / festival use case), specify a dual-frequency UHF + NFC wristband — both chips embedded in the same silicone band, MOQ 300, lead time 15-18 business days."
    },
    {
      "question": "Which UHF chip should I specify?",
      "answer": "Default: Impinj Monza R6 or R6-P for general race-timing, conference, and theme-park use — auto-tune, AutoPilot, mature ecosystem. Specify NXP UCODE 9 when read sensitivity is critical (long-distance portal reads, dense-pack race finishes) — UCODE 9 lifts sensitivity ~3 dB over UCODE 8, which often translates to 1-2 m of additional on-body range. Specify Alien Higgs-9 when you need 688 bits of on-tag user memory for event tier, registration class, or session-access flags that should not require a back-end lookup."
    },
    {
      "question": "What MOQ and lead time should I plan for?",
      "answer": "UHF silicone wristbands: MOQ 200, lead time 12-15 business days. Dual-frequency (UHF + NFC) silicone: MOQ 300, lead time 15-18 business days. Tyvek UHF wristbands: MOQ 1,000, lead time 10-12 business days. Custom-coloured silicone with logo silkscreen / debossing / pad-print / laser engraving: add 2-3 business days. Read-range test report bundled with every order at no extra cost."
    },
    {
      "question": "Will the wristband interfere with hospital telemetry or diathermy equipment?",
      "answer": "No — passive UHF wristbands do not transmit unless interrogated by a reader. The reader-side regulatory compliance (FCC Part 15 Subpart C in the US, EN 302 208 in the EU) bounds emissions in the 902-928 MHz / 865-868 MHz bands. Hospital telemetry typically operates at 608-614 MHz / 1395-1400 MHz / 2360-2390 MHz; therapeutic diathermy at 27.12 MHz / 2.45 GHz. None of these bands overlap with UHF RFID. Site-specific EMC reviews remain best practice for any new RF infrastructure."
