Why Choose a Mifare Card Reader?

As a card enrolment or ID badge reader/tester, the USB model emulates a keyboard and will keystroke the card's data to the cursor's location on the screen. The reader can be configured to add keystrokes before or after the card's data. The serial version, available in RS-232, Ethernet, or USB-async, delivers the card's data in ASCII.

It can be used as a standalone system, or be seamlessly integrated with other software applications using the optional SDK (Software developer's kit). As an integrated reader, you will find applications such as PC/LAN logon, single signon, card enrolment, visitor management, point of sale, time/attendance, user authorization, seminar, fitness, training attendance, magnetic card emulations and more.

NFC (Near field communication)

NFC (Near field communication) is a set of standards for Smartphone and similar devices to establish radio communication with each other, by bringing them into close proximity, normally within a few centimetres or touching them together. Current and likely applications include data exchange, contactless transactions, and simplified setup of more complex communications such as Wi-Fi. With an NFC device it is also possible to communicate with an unpowered NFC chip, called a "tag". NFC offers new opportunities potentially allowing NFC-enabled devices to act as electronic identity documents and keycards. 

Our readers RDR-7581-XXX are compatible with Type 2 & Type 4 NFC cards.
