TSL – 2173 Bluetooth® Wearable LF/HF RFID Reader
The 2173 Bluetooth® LF/HF RFID Reader enables a Bluetooth® host device to read and write to a wide variety of Low Frequency and High Frequency RFID transponders. The optional 2D Imager version can also capture 1D and 2D barcodes.
Scanned information can be ‘typed’ by the Reader into any application on the host device using the Bluetooth® HID keyboard mode. Alternatively, the Reader can be commanded from an app on the host device. As the 2173 Reader uses the existing TSL® ASCII 2 Protocol, developers can take advantage of the comprehensive, free SDKs provided by TSL® to develop in Xamarin, Java, Objective C or .NET.
