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 device supports the following operating modes:
• Reader mode
• Peer-to-Peer communication
• 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 (ex. RS6000), and headsets (ex.
HS3100).
• Exchange data with another NFC device.
• Emulate contactless card such as payment 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.
