ThingMagic Mercury Dev Kit for ThingMagic HF/LF RFID modules contains all the components necessary to begin reading and writing RFID tags and developing RFID-enabled applications with secure access protocols. Mercury API, a powerful application programming interface, provides code examples, a graphical read-write demo program, and a consistent programmatic interface for development with all ThingMagic readers and embedded module products.
ThingMagic M3e HF/LF Embedded RFID Reader Module Developer Kit provides full developers the tools and components necessary to begin reading and writing RFID tags and developing programs for their applications. The M3e Reader Module that comes with this developer kit is equipped with a secure crypto license. Full schematics and the Mercury API and SDK provide a common development platform, and the Universal Reader Assistant provides a utility that allows for advanced demo, testing, and tuning of the M3e reader, reducing complexity for novice users while permitting low-level control for advanced developers.
ThingMagic's M3e is a compact embedded module that supports both high-frequency (HF) RFID and low-frequency (LF) RFID protocols. The M3e is the only HF/LF module on the market with a totally integrated secure access module; an IC that handles secure communications and manages security keys required to access more than just the publicly available information on an RFID tag. The M3e module supports complex HF RFID tag interactions and has the flexibility to read both HF and LF ID cards to authenticate personnel across a wide spectrum of security environments.
