HF | NFC - RFID Desktop Reader ACS - AquaGuard

The ACS AquaGuard NFC USB Desktop Reader represents a fourth-generation HF | NFC - RFID reader designed for maximum robustness, security, and reliability in professional use. Developed for demanding environments, this RFID reader combines proven 13.56 MHz contactless technology with an exceptionally rugged construction. Full support for common standards such as ISO 14443 Type A and B, ISO 15693, and ISO 18092 ensures broad compatibility with a wide range of NFC cards, tags, and contactless devices. The standout feature of the ACS AquaGuard is its IP67 certification, which reliably protects the housing against dust, water, and moisture. This makes the USB reader model ideal for industrial environments, hygiene-sensitive areas, or locations exposed to increased environmental influences, settings in which conventional desktop readers quickly reach their limits.

As an ACS desktop RFID reader, the AquaGuard impresses with seamless integration into existing IT infrastructures. Thanks to full CCID and PC/SC compliance, no complex driver installation is required, significantly simplifying implementation and conserving IT resources. With data transfer rates of up to 848 kbit/s, the HF | NFC - RFID reader delivers extremely short response and transaction times, a decisive advantage especially in time-critical processes. Another key aspect of investment protection is the ability to perform firmware updates directly via the USB interface. This ensures that the RFID reader remains compatible over the long term with new security standards, protocols, or applications. Companies benefit from a durable, scalable hardware platform that can be flexibly adapted to future requirements.

The functional versatility of the ACS AquaGuard is particularly evident in its support for three intelligent NFC operating modes. In addition to the classic reader/writer mode, the device also supports card emulation and keyboard emulation. The latter enables especially easy integration into existing software solutions, as read data is processed directly like keyboard input. This makes the NFC reader ideally suited for applications requiring fast and uncomplicated data capture. Typical use cases range from loyalty and membership programs to single sign-on solutions and secure access control and identification systems. As a high-performance HF reader, the AquaGuard offers maximum interoperability and adapts flexibly to a wide variety of workflows and industry requirements.
