CISC NFC Xplorer Inline
Description:
NFC Production & Integration: Securing the Digital Thread. Our solutions streamline the high-speed manufacturing, encoding, and encryption of NFC tags directly into your production line. From tamper-evident medical packaging to real-time batch authentication, we transform standard products into secure, data-rich assets.
NFC is the gold standard for secure data exchange. By requiring a physical ‚tap,‘ it ensures that every interaction – from authenticating a vaccine to unlocking a door – is intentional and encrypted.
CISC RAIN Xplorer
Description:
The CISC RAIN Xplorer is a unique RFID test product developed for convenient tag frequency sensitivity, communication range, and backscatter measurements. The RFID tester is designed for open area tests and measurements in an RF-controlled environment using portable or fixed RF test chambers. The system is supplied with software and a reference tag for self-calibration. The test equipment is controlled using a graphical user interface (GUI) with an additional application programming interface (API) for the development of user-defined test sequences within standard development environments.
Key Features:
Basis RAIN RFID frequency range from 800 MHz to 1 GHz
Extended RAIN RFID frequency range from 700 MHz to 1.3 GHz
Tag and Reader Performance tests
Tag and Reader Conformance tests
Sniffer mode to analyze the communication between reader and tags
ETSI EN 302 208 reader and tag tests (RED compliance/CE marking)
CISC RAIN Xplorer Inline:
Description:
The CISC RAIN Xplorer Inline is engineered for the high-speed requirements of UHF (Ultra High Frequency) RFID production. It is globally unique because it combines high-speed performance verification with advanced data management (encoding and security) in a single pass.
RAIN is a type of passive UHF RFID technology based on global standards, designed for long-range, high-speed, item-level tracking.
CISC NFC Xplorer
Description:
The CISC NFC Xplorer is a compact, high-quality test system, developed for NFC and HF device measurements including performance and conformance tests. The Hardware unit provides two high-ohm input ports and one 50-ohm output port, which makes the NFC Xplorer a device supporting measurements according ISO with full compensation of DUT influence. The device is capable of communicating with HF RFID cards and NFC devices, and an analyzer of the air interface communication. Signal recording is done in real-time with no limitation of the recording time.
