What buyers usually confirm first

swipe →

Protocol

Which chip, frequency, and standard must the reader support?

Compatibility with the credential comes first, especially for access, enrollment, and encoding workflows.

Form Factor

Desktop device, reader-writer, fixed reader, or OEM module?

Choose the hardware style around the operator workflow, not only the protocol.

Integration

What operating system, SDK, or interface does your team expect?

Reader projects move faster when interface expectations are confirmed before sampling.

Spec Check

What to confirm before hardware testing

Chip protocol, operating system, interface, and SDK expectations should all be clear before a reader sample is approved.

Use Cases

Where teams usually use this reader setup

Deployment context helps determine whether this hardware belongs at a desk, in a kiosk, in a gate, or inside a device.

Under-desk card reading

concealed reader scans employee badges through 20-30 mm desk surfaces for workspace authentication

Smart table and interactive display

read NFC cards and tags placed anywhere on a 178 mm sensing area for museum and retail experiences

Enclosure-mounted access control

reader behind plastic or glass panels eliminates weather exposure and vandalism risk at entry points

Multi-tag stack reading

scan through stacks of tagged library books, file folders, or inventory items in a single read cycle

Wallet-pass reading

read NFC credentials while cards remain inside wallets or badge holders at 100-150 mm standoff

Custom kiosk and furniture integration

OEM board embeds into self-service terminals, reception desks, and conference room tables

µFR XL OEM vs NFC Integrino N512 — How To Choose

Long-range OEM board or developer-friendly Arduino module? Pick by integration

Both are NFC reader modules for embedding into custom hardware, but serve different integration workflows. µFR XL OEM is a complete OEM board with extended antenna reach for built-in kiosk and furniture integration. NFC Integrino N512 is a smaller module with Arduino-style headers for prototyping and IoT integration via ESP32 / MCU.

µFR XL OEM Long-Range NFC Reader Types

Front View Large Antenna - µFR XL OEM Long-Range NFC Reader detail

1 Front View Large Antenna

The FR XL OEM front face houses a 178 x 178 mm antenna area over 9x the antenna surface of a standard desktop reader. This large sensing area is what enables the extraordinary 200 mm read range that distinguishes the XL from all other HF readers in the Digital Logic lineup. The antenna geometry is optimized for ISO/IEC 14443 Type A/B at 13.56MHz, providing uniform field strength across the entire sensing surface for consistent card detection at any position.

Back View Connectivity - µFR XL OEM Long-Range NFC Reader detail

2 Back View Connectivity

The rear of the FR XL OEM reveals the ultra-thin 5 mm board profile and connector layout for USB, RS232, and Ethernet interfaces. The thin form factor enables concealed mounting behind panels, under desk surfaces, or inside custom enclosures. Four corner mounting holes accommodate M3 screws for secure installation. The board can be oriented facing up (for desk-surface reading), facing forward (for wall-mounted panel reading), or facing down (for overhead scanning applications).
