Elatec introduces TWN4 Tech Tracer Kit
A convenient introduction to multi-standard RFID
Munich (Germany), 25February 2014 – With the TWN4 reader modules, Elatec RFID Systems has introduced its first range of RFID multi-standard readers on the market.The new TWN4 readers are designed for all current 125kHz, 134.2kHz, and 13.56MHz standards, including NFC.To help manufacturers and integrators develop solutions for these multi-standard readers, Elatec is now introducing the TWN4 Tech Tracer Kit starter package.The TWN4 Tech Tracer Kit not only offers hardware and software for developing multi-standard solutions, it also helps integrators to identify unknown transponders.
The TWN4 Tech Tracer Kit includes the TWN4 MIFARE NFC reader/writer in a desktop USB housing with handles, a selection of different transponders and a USB stick complete with software development kit and documentation. The name Tech Tracer is taken from an app that is included in the package. This product can be used to identify and read out customer transponders of unknown standards. Klaus Nagel, Director ofSalesand Business Development at ElatecRFIDSystems, explains: “One application of the TWN4 module includes devices that are required to be veryflexible, regardless of which RFID standard the customer uses. Another application area includes access control systems that are in the process of being converted to new standards. During these migrations, employee identification cards can be used with different RFID cards at the same time. The TWN4 Tech Tracer Kit is perfectly suited for presenting these types of migration scenarios in companies that would otherwise be forced to replace hundreds of transponder cards all by a particular date.
