A key advantage of this USB RFID reader is its simple integration into existing IT infrastructures. The ACR1552U is fully CCID- and PC/SC-compliant and supports plug-and-play operation on all common operating systems, without the need for complex driver installations. With data transfer rates of up to 848 kbps, the ACS RFID reader enables exceptionally fast and reliable communication, an essential factor in time-critical environments such as government agencies, healthcare institutions, or corporate headquarters. In addition, the reader supports USB firmware upgrades and extended contactless APDU commands. This flexibility makes the ACS ACR1552U a cost-effective long-term investment, as new security requirements and functional updates can be implemented via software without replacing the hardware.

Particularly noteworthy is the support for all three core NFC operating modes, which makes this HF | NFC - RFID desktop reader a true all-rounder. In addition to the classic read/write mode, the ACR1552U supports both card emulation and keyboard emulation. The latter allows read NFC data to be passed directly to applications as keyboard input—without any additional middleware or software modifications. This functionality opens up a wide range of use cases, such as access control, single sign-on environments, ticketing, or membership management. System integrators in particular value this flexibility, as the RFID reader can be seamlessly integrated into existing applications and enables sustainable process automation.
