ELATEC TWN4 Slim Kit BLE-PI

The ELATEC TWN4 Slim Kit BLE-PI stands out as a compact, multi-frequency RFID module that seamlessly integrates 125 kHz, 13.56 MHz, and Bluetooth Low Energy into a single embedded solution. Unlike conventional readers limited to a single protocol, this kit supports a broad spectrum of transponders—from MIFARE and FeliCa to HID Prox and EM4xxx—making it adaptable to diverse access control, authentication, and IoT applications. Its field-upgradable firmware and secure element support ensure long-term flexibility and robust data protection.

Highlights

• Triple-technology support: LF (125 kHz), HF/NFC (13.56 MHz), and BLE 4.2
• Wide transponder compatibility: ISO 14443 A/B, ISO 15693, ISO 18092, MIFARE Classic/Plus/DESFire/Ultralight, FeliCa, NTAG, EM4xxx, HID Prox, Indala, T5577
• Multiple host interfaces: USB (HID, CDC), RS232, SPI, I2C, GPIO for flexible integration
• Integrated antenna and multi-color status LED for immediate feedback
• Field-upgradable firmware via USB, secure element support, AES128 encryption
• Operating modes: Reader/Writer, Card Emulation, Peer-to-Peer (NFC)

In daily use

Engineers and integrators benefit from the module's low power consumption (typically 100 mA) and wide operating temperature range (-25°C to +80°C), suitable for industrial and outdoor environments. The comprehensive SDK accelerates development, while the included connection cable and documentation simplify prototyping. Whether embedding into a kiosk, EV charger, or custom IoT device, the TWN4 Slim Kit BLE-PI delivers reliable performance with a read range of up to 40 mm, depending on transponder and environmental factors.
