Cross Point introduced a multi technology RFID reader/writer for the ISO 14443-A & ISO 15693 standard.
The XM13.56 reader/writer handles 13.56 MHz tags and supports the open architecture of this technology. There is no risk of a vendor lock-in, as all sectors are accessible. Furthermore Cross Point supplies a sophisticated analyzer software to offer OEMs, system integrators and value added resellers a quick overview of the possibilities of the product.'
The free of charge analyzer software makes it also possible to monitor all traffic across the bus to help understand the protocol the XM13.56 reader uses. Small tests can be written using the build-in scripting engine (JavaScript). The analyzer may prove to be an important tool to make own applications with the offered 13.56MHz technology.
Typical target applications for the security industry are: secure sector reading for access control, biometric data storage, T- & A event logging and payment applications.
