ACR1252U NFC Forum Certified Reader

ACR1252U NFC Forum Certified Reader

Overview

The ACR1252Uis a PC-linked NFC Reader that is NFC Forum–certified.

The ACR1252U runs on the 13.56 MHz contactless technology and supports ISO 14443 Type A and B cards, MIFARE®, FeliCa, ISO 18092–compliant NFC tags, and other NFC devices. It has an ISO 7816–compliant Class A SAM (Secure Access Module) slot which can be used together with a SAM card for key diversification and mutual authentication, providing high level of security in contactless transactions. Post-deployment firmware upgrade is also supported, eliminating the need for additional hardware modification.

ACR1252U is capable of the three modes of NFC, namely, Card Reader/Writer, Card Emulation and Peer-to-Peer Communication. These NFC features make the ACR1252U ideal for NFC applications like Smart Posters for advertising and marketing purposes with most NFC-enabled mobile phones and SIM cards in the market.
