Please note: a 20 Pack version for bulk orders is available.

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 and healthcare/medical/pharmaceutical applications.

Like all Socket’s bar code scanning products, the RFID Reader card is supported by SocketScan keyboard wedge software which sends the RFID tag ID to any Windows application as virtual keystrokes – No custom programming needed! A small additional application allows reading and writing to the accessible tag memory blocks. An SDK is available for developers who wish to embed control of the RFID Reader read/write functionality into their applications.
