ThingMagic M2 (HF) is the industry’s most secure multi-protocol embedded HF RFID reader module for OEMs and was designed specifically for encrypted authentication across a range of vertical markets.
Based on the same security standards used by the U.S. Department of Defense and financial sector, the ThingMagic M2 provides rich HF tag/protocol support and optimal performance for RFID embedded applications.
Key Benefits
- Security: Based on best-in-class cryptographic standards, the ThingMagic M2 provides secure support for generic tags, saving customers 60–70% compared to tags that use proprietary security.
- Investment Protection: An open, flexible architecture that is forward compatible and highly scalable, it provides unparalleled investment protection.
- Superior Embeddabilty: The ThingMagic M2’s small size and intelligent software eases integration and provides customers with a significant cost-performance advantage.
