NFC/HF RFID is a short-range wireless connectivity technology standard that enables secure transaction between a reader and a contactless smartcard. The technology is based on ISO/IEC 14443 type A and B (proximity) ISO/IEC 15693 (vicinity) standards, using the HF 13.56 MHz unlicensed band.
The MC3400/MC3450 supports the following operating modes:
Reader mode
Peer-to-Peer communication
Card emulation mode
With NFC, the devices can:
Read contactless cards such as contactless tickets, ID cards, payment cards, and ePassports.
Read and write information to contactless cards (for example, SmartPosters and etickets), as well as devices with NFC interfaces (for example, vending machines).
Read information from supported medical sensors.
Pair with supported Bluetooth devices, such as printers, ring scanners, and headsets)
Exchange data with another NFC device.
The NFC antenna is:
Positioned to read NFC cards from the top of the device while the device is being held.
Centrally aligned with the back housing directly underneath the regulatory label and designed for reading a range of NFC tags at distances from contact up to 2 cm from the rear of the device.
