Near Field Communications

NFC/HF RFID is a short-range wireless connectivity technology standard that enables a secure transaction between a reader and a contactless smartcard.
The technology is based on ISO/IEC 14443 type A and B (proximity), and ISO/IEC 15693 (vicinity) standards, using the HF 13.56 MHz unlicensed band.
The device supports the following operating modes:
  • Reader mode
  • Card Emulation mode.
Using NFC, the device can:
  • Read contactless cards such as contactless tickets, ID cards and ePassport.
  • Read and write information to contactless cards such as SmartPosters and tickets, as well as devices with NFC interface such as vending machines.
  • Read information from supported medical sensors.
  • Pair with supported Bluetooth devices such as printers ring scanners (for example, RS6000), and headsets (for example, HS3100).
  • Exchange data with another NFC device.
  • Emulate contactless card such as ticket or SmartPoster.
The device NFC antenna is positioned to read NFC cards from the top of the device while the device is being held.
