ELATEC TWN4 MultiT-P 2 BLE-P

The ELATEC TWN4 MultiT-P 2 BLE-P stands out as a compact embedded RFID module that unites multi-frequency tag reading with Bluetooth Low Energy connectivity in a single PCB. Unlike single-protocol readers, it handles LF (125 kHz / 134.2 kHz) and HF (13.56 MHz) transponders, covering a broad spectrum of access control and identification standards. Integrated BLE 4.2 lets it communicate wirelessly with smartphones or tablets, while USB, RS232, I2C, and SPI host interfaces ensure easy integration into existing hardware. Field-upgradeable firmware and a rich SDK make it a future-proof choice for developers and system integrators.

Highlights

• Reads 125 kHz, 134.2 kHz, and 13.56 MHz RFID tags
• Supports ISO 14443A/B, ISO 15693, ISO 18092 (NFC), EM4100, HID Prox, FeliCa, MIFARE Classic/DESFire/Ultralight, NTAG
• Bluetooth Low Energy 4.2 for wireless communication
• Multiple host interfaces: USB (HID/CDC), RS232, I2C, SPI
• Integrated antenna, LEDs, and buzzer for status indication
• Secure key storage with AES128, DES/3DES, SHA-1/256/512, ECC
• Wide operating temperature range: -25°C to +80°C
• Field-upgradeable firmware and comprehensive SDK

In daily use

Integrators will appreciate the module's low power draw—only 70 mA during reading and under 1 mA in sleep mode—making it suitable for battery-powered devices. The 20-pin header simplifies connection to custom boards, and the included TWN4 Configuration Tool plus AppBlaster software accelerate development. Whether you're building a new access terminal, upgrading a vending machine, or adding RFID to an IoT gateway, this module provides reliable performance across Windows, Linux, and Android host systems.
