VTAP100 NFC reader - Wiegand, square, indoor

The VTAP100 from Dot Origin can selectively read and decrypt NFC pass data from iPhone or Android devices, and transfer this data to a connected system. It can also read unique IDs and secure encoded data from many RFID and NFC cards and tags, including MIFARE Classic and DESFire.

The VTAP100-PAC-W is a version of the VTAP100 which can transfer pass data over a standard Wiegand interface, for use in appropriate access control applications, as a door or turnstile reader. The square case can positioned horizontally, or easily mounted on walls or door frames.

VTAP100 has been designed to support a smooth transition from plastic to mobile NFC passes so, alongside mobile passes, the VTAP100 will also read UID or data from MIFARE, DESFire and NTAG smartcards and tags, to support mixed-use applications. It is fully certified by both Apple and Google to work with their respective VAS and Smart Tap protocols, supporting automatic pass selection on iOS, as well as on-board decryption.

The VTAP100 Wiegand reader can be used in many environments, including gym check-in and sports ticketing. The Wiegand interface supports various bit lengths/formats as well as standard external LED and beeper inputs from a connected door controller.

A USB connection from any PC is used to configure the VTAP100, by editing simple text files. Keys can be easily updated but cannot be extracted from the device. The configuration can be locked, so that the device is password protected or read-only in general use.

The VTAP100-PAC-W-SQ is supplied in a square plastic case. We can supply customised front labels for a small additional fee, typically for orders of 100 or more units.

This is all you need to get started with mobile NFC pass reading, as it includes access to create demonstration mobile passes, so that you can test your application. For production purposes you will need to use a third-party pass provider, or integrate directly with Apple and Google.

The VTAP100-PAC-W is also available in a narrow, compact case, suitable for outdoor use. There are other versions of VTAP100 available, for example the VTAP100-USB which has a USB interface only and is presented in a compact case, and the VTAP100-OEM which is a pre-certified PCB module available to integrators, providing both USB and RS-232 serial connectivity. Please contact us to discuss availability of these options.
