inepro, a supplier and developer of RFID solutions, has collaborated with LEGIC Identsystems, a provider of secure contactless semiconductors, to create the high-security RFID reader series: Spider.

According to the companies, Spider is an RFID reader that can be easily integrated into any device to provide instant access security while supporting over 180 LF and HF wireless technologies (125 kHz, 13.56 MHz & 2.4 GHz), including NFC and Bluetooth.

Compatibility

The Spider RFID reader series is integrated with LEGIC 6000 series Security Modules which come in a compact size (8 x 8 mm) and have built-in secure element technology, encrypted interfaces, contactless communications and low power consumption.

The companies highlight that these security modules enable easy design of security-critical applications.

“The astounding quality LEGIC provides with its 6000 series perfectly matches the standards we strive for at inepro,” said Edwin Kooijman, Senior International Account Executive RFID Solutions at inepro BV.

“When selecting the components for our Spider RFID reader series, we specifically chose LEGIC for their security level. We were looking to create a product range that fulfills high-security requirements while offering physical and technical compatibility and flexibility our customers look for.”

Flexibility and quality

inepro and LEGIC say that the Spider range provides a versatile, cost-efficient and easy-to-add authentication security solution.

Additionally, the Spider RFID series comes in various sizes:

• The Spider Core – the smallest in size – can be integrated into compact devices
• The Spider Desktop is meant for authentication at secured computers and payments at cash registers
• The Spider Desktop MFP can be mounted on the side of multifunctional printers
• The Spider Pocket can be seamlessly integrated into printers or lockers

Users have the flexibility to use a smartcard or RFID tag to authenticate themselves or use a mobile phone app.

Additionally, configurations and updates can be remotely provisioned via wired interface or Bluetooth.

“Because inepro develops both hardware and software, the company works in product teams where focus is key,” Kooijman added.

“We have dedicated teams per product, including an RFID Solutions team focusing entirely on inepro’s RFID readers. Our clients get the attention and customer service they deserve.”
