Why WaveID reader? Versatility Meets Security

The WaveID product family from rf IDEAS is far more than a standard NFC or HF reader. These devices are specifically designed for use in security-critical environments and support an impressive range of card technologies. Whether MIFARE Classic, DESFire, HID iCLASS SEOS, LEGIC, PIV/CAC, or FIDO2 – the WaveID devices cover both the LF range (125 kHz) and the full HF range at 13.56 MHz. This means maximum flexibility in choosing your credential technology without compromising on security.

The WaveID rfid reader portfolio: The Right device for Every Use Case:

  • WAVE ID Nano: An ultra-compact USB-C scanner, optionally MIL-STD-810 certified – ideal for mobile and rugged deployments.
  • WAVE ID Plus: The dual-frequency reader combines 125 kHz and 13.56 MHz in a single device, offering maximum compatibility with existing card systems.
  • WAVE ID Mobile: This NFC scanner supports BLE and enables the use of mobile credentials – perfect for modern, smartphone-based access concepts.
  • WAVE ID Bio: A reader with an integrated fingerprint sensor for true multi-factor authentication.
  • OEM Embedded Reader Module: A compact module designed for integration into third-party devices, terminals, and custom hardware.

Seamless Integration into Existing IT Systems

A key advantage of the WaveID readers is their flexibility when it comes to connectivity. The devices support three operating modes: HID Keyboard Mode for direct keystroke emulation, Virtual COM Mode for serial communication, and CCID mode (PC/SC compatible) for smart card applications. This allows the device to be effortlessly integrated into existing infrastructures – whether for Windows login, PKI-based authentication, single sign-on, or secure print.

Full cross-platform compatibility with Windows, macOS, and Linux, along with comprehensive SDK support, makes integration projects efficient and predictable. Typical areas of application include logical access control, time and attendance tracking, healthcare authentication, as well as security-sensitive financial and government environments.
