ThingMagic Gemini HF/NFC Reader Module Evaluation Kit

The ThingMagic Gemini NFC Reader Module Evaluation Kit is for customers who are just starting to test integration of RFID as a feature in their products. The ThingMagic Gemini evaluation kit provides all the hardware and software components needed to get started.

ThingMagic's Gemini marks the next generation of HF reader modules. The Gemini is a low-cost, ultra-low power, MIFARE and NFC reader/writer module. With cutting edge ARM Cortex microcontroller and the latest HF transceiver technology, coupled with the reader's intelligent operating system, this is the most versatile HF RFID module at this price point. Manufactured in accordance with ISO 9001 and ISO 13485 standards, quality is a top priority for all ThingMagic modules.

Note: This product is a reader module – NOT a finished RFID reader – and is meant for OEM and developers to embed into products or to be used in the creation of a new finished reader. If you are interested in an existing finished reader product, check out our line of finished ThingMagic readers.
