Sony’s FeliCa Contactless IC Card Reader/Writer is an intelligent, highperformance Reader/Writer unit.
FeliCa is a contactless IC card system so there is no wear due to dirt or friction and maintenance is minimal.
 |
- The Reader/Writer consists of a control board, an antenna and an antenna cable connecting to the control board. The Reader/Writer communicates with the IC card after receiving a command from the controller. FeliCa adopts an ISO/IEC18092 compliant communication method. The communication distance between the Reader/Writer and the IC card depends on the antenna.
- Higher security is promised by using the ASIC chip that actualizes data processing and functions necessary of an encryption and encoding/decoding circuit on one chip.
- New applications on the controller can be developed using the Reader/Writer commands. A software development kit "SDK for FeliCa"(optional) is available as an application development tool. (for Windows only)

- Sophisticated functions & high-speed processing
Besides command conversion and authentication between a controller and a IC card, and high-speed encryption/decryption of data communication, the Reader/Writer also has a self-diagnosis function. - Flexible system settings
System settings and/or changes can be made in the program, such as the mutual authentication method, authentication keys, data transfer speed with the controller, and ON/OFF of encryption during data transfer. - Environmentally-friendly product
Reader/Writer is environmentally-friendly. No halogen flame-retardant is contained in printed circuit boards.
