ThingMagic Gemini Low Cost, Ultra Low Power HF RFID Reader ThingMagic Gemini marks the next generation of HF reader modules. The Gemini is a low-cost, ultra-low power, MIFARE and NFC reader/writer module. With cutting edge ARM Cortex microcontroller and the latest HF transceiver technology, coupled with the reader s intelligent operating system, this is the most versatile HF RFID module at this price point. Manufactured in accordance with ISO 9001 and ISO 13485 standards, quality is a top priority for all ThingMagic modules. Supported security features, like mutually authenticated triple DES 40mm L x 38mm W x 5mm H encryption, offer a low-cost and robust method of authentication for consumables, making the Gemini ideal for medical, ticketing, security Features & Benefits: or safety applications. At about the size of a matchbook, this module can fit into almost any new or existing OEM design. The Gemini is also Fast integration and time-to- well suited for battery powered and other power sensitive applications, market due to its low power features, including software stand-by mode and Unparalleled investment deep sleep mode. In addition, the wide input voltage range and highly protection efficient switching power design make this module perfect for battery- powered applications right off the shelf. Cost-effective and highly scalable Gemini module is one of the first to support not only the extremely Miniscule footprint popular NFC tags, but also NFC peer-to-peer and tag emulation modes as defined by ISO18092. This unique ability allows for active Common Blade technology for maximum design and data passing between NFC-enabled smart phones, tablets and other solution flexibility devices. Greatest tag compatibility, The Gemini is the same size and form factor as the M1. The optional with TagIQ connector is updated to match the Common Blade Interface and can Minimal power consumption connect to the same interface board as any of the Common Blade and maximum read range devices. In addition, a micro USB port is available for direct connection to a USB host, as well as an antenna output for an external antenna.
