NFC reader boards and modules – certified for fast integration
VTAP NFC reader boards and modules are fully certified for use with Apple Wallet and Google Wallet as well as having multiple radio certifications
The VTAP range of embedded NFC Wallet reader boards and modules offers quick and easy integration into any new or existing product, housing or environment. Several form-factors are available, including a surface-mount module supplied in tape and reel format for mass production. Alternative antennas and semi- or fully-custom NFC readers can also be quickly created from our established library of designs. As well as Apple VAS, Google Smart Tap and Apple ECP2/Access approvals, our standard reader boards and modules have modular FCC and ISED approvals, along with CE RED/UKCA test reports. This should simplify intentional radio emissions testing of your final product in many geographic markets and radically improve time to market.
