2173 Wearable LF/HF RFID Reader with 2D Imager

2173 Wearable LF/HF RFID Reader with 2D Imager

Integrate RFID Into Your Solution!

The 2173 reader enables a compatible Bluetooth^® host to read and write a wide variety of HF and LF RFID transponders as well as capture 1D and 2D barcodes (imager version only). These can be "typed" into any application on the host device using the Bluetooth^® HID keyboard mode. Alternatively, the reader can be commanded from an app on the host device. As the 2173 uses the existing TSL^® ASCII 2 Protocol, developers can take advantage of the comprehensive, free SDKs provided by TSL^® to develop in Xamarin, Java, Objective C or .NET.

Dual RFID Frequencies

The combined LF and HF RFID reader provides the ability to read and write to a wide variety of transponders at 125/134.2 kHz (LF) and 13.56 MHz (HF) including ISO 15693, the complete Mifare family of ISO14443 (A&B) and the NFC standard ISO18092 ECMA-340.

Multi-Band RFID Reading and Writing

Combined LF RFID, HF RFID and NFC reading and writing in an incredibly compact and lightweight device.

Multi-ISO RFID

Supports multiple ISO industry standards including ISO15693, ISO14443(A/B) and ISO18092 ECMA-340 (NFC).

Batch Data Collection

Removable high capacity Micro SD data card and real time clock for extended batch data collection with time stamp independent of the host connection.

OS Independence

The reader is compatible with Android, iOS and Windows.

High Performance Barcode Scanning

Integrated 2D imaging engine provides class leading barcode scan performance via its unique patent pending fast pulse illumination which delivers outstanding motion tolerance and class leading 1D and 2D data capture.
