| Sirit Introduces New HF RFID Reader Module Sirit Inc. is pleased to introduce the INfinity 196, a high frequency (HF - 13.56 MHz) reader module designed to address a wide array of HF applications including cashless payments, secure transactions, access control, identify or product verification, and item level tracking in supply chain applications. The INfinity 196 multi-protocol embedded RFID reader has been designed in a compact yet powerful form factor allowing for easy integration into handheld portable data terminals, mobile computers, cashless payment and fixed terminals and other OEM devices. The 196 supports commonly used protocols including ISO 15693 and Philips I-Code while also supporting secure, encrypted applications using ISO 14443, MIFARE Ultralight and MIFARE Classic. The INfinity 196 design incorporates the Philips RC632 chip facilitating secure encrypted tag to reader communication used in many cashless payment and secure transaction applications throughout the world. Support for multiple levels of the MIFARE protocol including MIFARE Ultralight and MIFARE Classic are native to the first release of the INfinity 196. The 196 has also been designed for field firmware upgradeability and has the ability to support MIFARE DESFire, the Philips contactless tag that is becoming popular for secure, encrypted transactions in cashless payment and other applications requiring a high level of security. Ideally suited for use in industrial mobile computers and fixed mount terminals in supply chain applications, robotics, point of sale terminals, vending machines and medical equipment, the INfinity 196 is available in both production board versions and as part of a System Developer's Kit (SDK) which allows OEM and third party developers to exercise the capability of the module and integrate it into a variety of end user products. Sirit's full range of INfinity series OEM modules support low (134.2/125 kHz), high (13.56 MHz) and ultra-high (902-928 MHz) frequencies and multiple protocols including EPCglobal() Class 0/0+/1 and Gen 2. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Computing News :: home page |
