RFID & NFC Reading
The integrated RFID Module is a dual antenna design especially designed for passport reading. The
RFID Module is able to read RFID documents according to ISO 14443 (A/B), ISO 7816 (incl. US
passport), and ICAO 9303.
Note: RFID ePassport reading for BAC takes approx. 1.5 seconds, depending on the PC system and
application. Generally, the type of ePassport/e-ID can also influence RFID reading performance. This is
due to different chip sets and chip OS in various ePassport/e-ID document types. RFID ePassport
reading speed may therefore vary from document to document.
MSR Reading
The integrated up to 3-track bidirectional magnetic stripe reader is able to read all magnetic stripe
data encoded in equivalence to ISO 7811/2-5.
Integrated Chip Card Reader
The PENTA Scanner Chip Card Reader is compliant to ISO 7816 and EMV² 2000 level 1 and designed
for reading synchronous and asynchronous chip cards with the following standards:
