Do key fobs have GPS? This is a common question among users who wish to track their key fobs. The straightforward answer is no; standard key fobs do not come equipped with GPS capabilities. This article delves into the technology behind key fobs and offers alternatives for those interested in tracking their keys.
Understanding Key Fob Technology
Key fobs primarily operate using Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology. Each fob contains a unique code that interacts with a specific receiver — usually at a door or gate. When the codes align, the door unlocks. This technology, detailed further on our How Fobs Work page, shows that traditional key fobs lack any GPS functionality.
Tracking Key Fob Usage
While key fobs themselves do not have GPS, some building management systems track the usage of key fobs for security purposes. This data, which typically includes entry and exit times, is stored securely and accessed only when necessary, such as during security investigations.
