A key feature of the ACS NFC reader module is its strong focus on security and performance. Optionally, the HF embedded RFID reader module can be equipped with a SAM slot supporting the ISO 7816 standard, enabling additional cryptographic security for sensitive applications. This is especially relevant for government authorities, healthcare, and mission-critical identity and access solutions. Thanks to CCID and PC/SC compliance, the RFID reader module is fully plug-and-play capable and can be integrated into existing systems without complex driver development. Data transfer rates of up to 848 kbps ensure fast and stable communication, even for complex transaction processes. USB firmware upgrades and support for extended contactless APDU commands ensure long-term maintainability and functional scalability, an essential advantage for scalable embedded solutions.

In addition, the NFC reader module stands out with its intelligent support of all three NFC operating modes: reader/writer, card emulation, and keyboard emulation. This versatility makes the HF | NFC - RFID reader module a universal hardware platform for a wide range of use cases, from classic identification and authentication processes to interactive user applications. Compared to traditional desktop readers or permanently integrated modules, the compact design of the ACM1552U-Y3 offers maximum freedom in product development. The combination of a low-profile design, external antenna, and broad operating system support, including Windows, Linux, macOS, and Android, makes this HF embedded RFID reader module particularly attractive for manufacturers of smart displays, industrial control systems, medical devices, and POS systems. It also integrates seamlessly into existing product portfolios as a complement or alternative to models such as the ACM1552D-C7.
