Supplier's note

  1. Technical Breakthroughs:

    • Linux kernel drivers: Enable plug-and-play compatibility with 90% of embedded Linux systems.
    • Modular PCB design: Reduces integration time by 40% compared to proprietary modules.
    • ISO 14443A/B dual support: Expands compatibility with legacy and modern smart cards.
  2. Version Selection Guide:

    • Base Model: Ideal for cost-sensitive projects requiring basic NFC functionality (e.g., classroom access systems).
    • Advanced Model: Choose for multi-protocol environments (e.g., hospitals using both ISO 14443A/B cards).
    • Pro Model: Essential for industrial use cases like oil rigs or construction sites, where IP67 rating and extended read range (+20% vs Base) ensure reliability in extreme conditions.

With the Pro Model’s IP67 rating, you can deploy readers in outdoor kiosks without additional shielding. Pair its 40mm read range with MIFARE support to enable hands-free access control for factory workers.
