NFC SCANNER is a mobile mini RFID reader, keychain shape, able to read HF tags and transmit the acquired data to any device equipped with Bluetooth® Low Energy radio interface.

The maximum reading distance is 6 cm.

The use of the RFID reader is easy and intuitive thanks to the presence of a single button, to activate the reading of the HF tags (1), and an LED and a multi-tone beeper, to alert the operator of the reading.

NFC SCANNER integrates Bluetooth® Low Energy radio technology, in particular it uses the serial emulation profile, a two-way channel. A simple serial communication protocol, present on all TERTIUM Technology products, allows to manage all the RFID reader functions, in particular the ID scan and the reading / writing of the HF tag memory (2).

With this profile it is possible, in the development phase, to integrate RFID technology in any application or program for mobile devices with an iOS and Android operating system (3).

NFC SCANNER is battery powered. Charging carries out via a micro USB connector.

Through the USB port it is possible to connect the NFC SCANNER to a PC, so that it can also be used as a normal RFID desktop reader. Data transmission on the USB interface takes place in virtual serial mode, a bidirectional channel (managed through the same serial communication protocol as the Bluetooth® Low Energy interface).
