What do I need: RF or AM EAS System?

Selection of technology depends on the industry of your business. RF: totally not applicable for securing electronic items - RF Gateways are exposed to electronic interference, so contact with electronic merchandise will shut them down. Because RF Soft Labels are ultra-thin, it is a great option for securing food and drugs. AM: seems more stable than RF technology, the great option for securing electronics. However, AM technology as itself is unable to deal with magnets. It can be a big trouble, because some theives tend to steal items in bags internally covered with magnet tape. For that reason, retailers either purchase a separate or buy a gateway with inbuilt magnet detector.
