Socket’s CompactFlash RFID Reader Card

Add plug-in RFID capabilities to Pocket PC applications
 
Now add high frequency RFID capabilities to your mobile data collection application with Socket’s CompactFlash RFID Reader Card. This product reads and writes to all ISO 15693 and many proprietary 13.56Mhz RFID tags being used or deployed for asset tracking, access control, process control, healthcare and pharmaceutical applications.

Like all Socket’s data collection products, the RFID Reader card is supported by SocketScan keyboard wedge software which sends the RFID tag ID, data from selected memory blocks or both to any Windows application as virtual keystrokes – No custom programming needed! A small RFID Demo application allows writing to the accessible tag memory blocks for demonstration purposes.

Mobility Friendly Means Low Power

As with all of our products, Socket designed the Mobility Friendly CF RFID Reader to use minimal power. Drawing only 11mA (36mW) in idle mode, the CF RFID Reader will operate for hours without having to recharge the batteries in your Pocket PC.
