ABOUT TWN4 MULTITECH 2 M HF

The TWN4 MultiTech 2 family of contactless RFID readers and modules allows users to read and write to almost any LF and HF tags
and labels. All products support NFC and, optionally, Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). In addition, they are also compatible with the two
most commonly used smartphone operating systems, Android and iOS, which gives the option to integrate them in mobile identification
applications. The desktop readers are available as Plug & Play devices that can be easily customized (i.e. inlay and housing color),
whereas the PCB modules offer a large amount of interfaces and a perfect form factor for an easy and quick integration in any host
device. This broad range of product features makes the TWN4 MultiTech 2 family an excellent solution for almost every project.
Key features of the TWN4 MultiTech 2 M HF RFID module include a powerful SDK for writing apps that are executed directly on the
module, the possibility to upgrade the firmware in the field and a direct chip-commands support. Additionally, the module can read
simultaneously a lot of HF RFID technologies from the 13.56 MHz frequency band, including NFC. This gives the option to select as
many of the technologies required instead of being forced to select just a few ones.
