Product Introduction:
 
The NFC desktop reader is ideal for cashless payment systems or loyalty schemes as well as to encode transponders for time & attendance. The intelligent reader firmware allows an easy and fast access to 13.56 MHz RFID chips without deep RFID knowledge and also supports NFC (Near field Communication)  in active mode.
 
It comes in an attractive glossy white housing with a bi-color LED and a buzzer which are completely controlled by the application via dedicated protocol commands. The simple commands of the intelligent RFID reader module facilitate a fast application development and a short time-to-market period.

Main Features:

• Super easy NFC / RFID chip handling
• Intelligent NFC reader firmware by "embedded DLL"
• Integrated key handling
• Fast application development and time to market
• LED brightness on image enhand to highlight their position​

 
What are the differens between NFC and RFID?
 
NFC is a sub-category of high frequency RFID. NFC differs from RFID in that NFC is designed to provide secure peer to peer communications between two devices. Another key difference is that an RFID reader can scan for multiple RFID tags simultaneously whereas an NFC reader can only communicate with one other device at a time. RFID readers and writers are not RFID tags, however any NFC device is able to function as both reader and tag.
 
Typical Applications:

• Identification systems
• Card personalization
• Production test and chip encoding
• Access control
• Pross or transaction control
• Payment systems & loyalty schemes
