BLUEBOX Panel Reader

Description

The BLUEBOX Panel Reader is a small and compact RFID reader and writer. It is ideally suited for integration into
existing systems within access control, employee identification, automation processes or data exchange via NFC. The BLUEBOX Panel Reader is equipped with the RFID frequency HF/NFC (13.56 MHz). It supports transponders and tags with standard ISO 14443A/B and ISO 15693.

The RFID Reader has a diameter of 28 mm and a height of 9 mm. The antenna integrated in the module transmits data at a speed of up to 115,200 bits per second.

The existing USB V+ interface offers the possibility to connect the device to many devices.

The RFID Reader can be controlled and used by keyboard emulation (HID) or Virtual COM Port (VCP). The modes can be set in the supplied software.
