LF and HF Competencies in Over 60 Technologies

Behind Every Successful Project is a Strong Team! Digital challenges of access control and authentication present customers worldwide with major tasks. Identification technology is proving to be an efficient link. However, some decision makers lack the know-how and time to develop innovative solutions. This is precisely where Elatec's core competence comes in. The team of specialists from the Bavarian hardware developer based in Puchheim near Munich answers all questions concerning the integration of LF or HF RFID technology. Which RFID reader achieves the required performance? How is the necessary security level implemented? How must the installed devices be configured? Which additional features can be added in the future without effort?

BLE – Bluetooth Low Energy

Now and in the future, the smartphone will be a universal identification device in the office! Today, more than 90 percent of all smartphones available are BLE-compatible. The growing market presence opens up new opportunities for BLE technology, which also draws more and more attention to the B2B segment – especially in the area of 'user identification and physical access'. The white paper "BLE Bluetooth Low Energy" by Elatec comprehensively illustrates which technological potentials of BLE can be integrated into innovative and efficient solutions. Additionally, in cooperation with RFID & Wireless IoT Global, Elatec experts Dr. Dominik Samson and Antonio Nabeiro will explain the technical principles of the technology as well as its practical applications.
