The Elatec TWN4 USB Front Reader combines RFID, NFC, and Bluetooth Low Energy reading capabilities in a compact and powerful reader. The reader can be easily connected to an external USB port via a rotatable USB connector. This makes the front reader ideal for quickly and conveniently setting up an identification solution. Applications such as single sign-on and authentication on machines and medical devices are easily implemented.
The reader supports all common RFID standards in the 125 and 134.2 kHz frequency ranges, as well as the 13.56 MHz band. BLE and NFC also support identification and wallet solutions for iPhones and Android smartphones.
It also supports all relevant transponders from manufacturers such as ATMEL, EM, ST, NXP, TI, HID, etc., and ISO standards, e.g., ISO14443A/B (T=CL), ISO15693, ISO18092 / ECMA-340 (NFC).
The card reader’s communication with the device to which it is plugged can be encrypted using AES128 if required. The additional front USB port can be enabled or disabled as needed.
