HF | NFC - RFID Reader rf IDEAS - WAVE ID® Plus Mini

Universal Wallet readers from rf IDEAS represent a new generation of secure, flexible, and future-proof identity solutions in the field of HF | NFC – RFID. They enable modern credential-based authentication that is compatible with Apple Wallet/ECP 2.0, Google Wallet/MIFARE 2GO, and Allegion HCE. As a wallet-agnostic solution, these RFID readers are ideally suited for use in enterprise, education, healthcare, and government environments. Support for multi-factor authentication significantly increases security while simultaneously simplifying deployments and accelerating onboarding processes. Universal Wallet readers are suitable both for expanding existing access control and IT security infrastructures and for entirely new installations, providing maximum investment protection for growing organizations.

The WAVE ID Plus Mini was specifically developed to read virtually any proximity or contactless card type used worldwide. As a high-performance dual-frequency RFID reader, it combines LF and HF technologies and supports both 125/132 kHz and 13.56 MHz (ISO 14443). This positions the device as one of the most robust LF & HF RFID desktop readers on the market for identification, authentication, and access control applications. Its ability to reliably process classic RFID cards, modern smart cards, and mobile NFC credentials makes the reader a key component of modern security architectures. Credential-based reader solutions replace error-prone manual entry of usernames and passwords, sustainably optimize workflows, and reduce identification errors in daily operations.

A key advantage of the WAVE ID Plus Mini is its versatility for logical access use cases. Organizations can use the same cards or mobile credentials already deployed for physical building access to securely log in to networks, software applications, and devices. The RFID reader connects directly via USB and emulates keystrokes of the card-specific data on the login screen. Alternatively, serial versions are available that can be connected via RS232. Thanks to true plug-and-play functionality, no additional software installation is required, allowing seamless integration into common operating systems. In addition, the reader can be embedded as an NFC reader module into custom software or hardware products using the rf IDEAS Software Developer’s Kit.

Furthermore, the WAVE ID Plus Mini is available in a CCID variant that enables operation with standardized PC/SC drivers and also supports FIDO2 NFC authenticators. As a result, the device meets the highest requirements for modern IT and security standards and is ideally suited for scenarios such as secure login, single sign-on, secure print management, or government identity systems.
