ELATEC TWN4 MultiTech 2 BLE

The ELATEC TWN4 MultiTech 2 BLE is a versatile OEM PCB module that combines multi-frequency RFID, NFC, and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) into a single compact solution. Supporting LF (125 kHz, 134.2 kHz), HF (13.56 MHz), and BLE 2.4 GHz, it reads and writes a vast array of transponder types, including MIFARE, NTAG, HID iCLASS, and ISO 11784/11785 animal tags. With USB, RS232, SPI, and I2C interfaces, it integrates seamlessly into embedded systems, access control terminals, and industrial devices.

Advantages

The module’s field-upgradeable firmware and broad transponder support future-proof your design. Integrated antenna, configurable LEDs, and buzzer simplify hardware integration, while AES128 encryption and optional secure element ensure data security. Its wide operating temperature range (-25 °C to +80 °C) and low power consumption via USB (4.3–5.5 V DC) make it suitable for demanding environments.
