RFID MultiPen for all passive frequencies (LF, HF and UHF) in one device

The new RFID handheld device MultiPen enables you the reading of UIDs of passive RFID transponders of Frequency ranges UHF (868…915MHz) , HF / NFC (13,56 MHz) and LF (125/134 kHz FDX-B/HDX).

So you can identify RFID TAGs very easy with only one device for all passive frequencies. The writing of data’s into the memory of the transponder is also possible in SPP or CDC

mode. The UIDs can be displayed in addition to the device-display also be shown on a screen of a

connected BLUETOOTH™ device like a smartphone, tablet or laptop.

The MultiPen is a battery powered device, which can be recharged using the micro USB interface. Battery cycles may vary from some hours to several days depending on the device configuration. When the device is connected via it’s USB interface, the device is powered by USB power.
