SONY Felica Reader RC-S493B
Overview
- The reader consists of a control board, an antenna and a cable between them. The reader communicates with the IC card or device after receiving a command from the controller. FeliCa adopts ISO/IEC 18092-compliant communication protocol.
- This highly-secure ASIC chip actualizes data processing and performs the functions necessary for an encryption and encoding/decoding circuit within a single chip.
- New applications on the controller can be developed using the reader/writer commands. An optional software development kit (SDK for FeliCa) is available as an application development tool (for Windows only).
Features
Sophisticated functionality & high-speed processing
In addition to command conversion and authentication between a controller and an IC card or a device, and high-speed encryption/decryption of data communication, the reader also has a self-diagnostic function.
Flexible system settings
System settings or changes, or both, can be made to the mutual authentication, authentication keys, data-transfer speed with the controller and switching of encryption during data transfer.
High-speed communication (424kbps)
The reader is capable of high-speed communications and supports the data-transfer rate of 424 kbps*, in addition to the conventional data transfer rate of 212kbps.
* Available only when the card or device to be used is compatible with the 424kbps transfer mode.
