NEWARK, Calif., April 6, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Socket Mobile,
Inc. (NASDAQ: SCKT), a leading provider of data capture and
delivery solutions designed to enhance workplace productivity, is
pleased to announce our new v1.50 firmware release for the D600 NFC
reader.
When connected to an iPad, tablet or PC, the D600 can read NFC
messages and cards written by a mobile phone, including QR code
equivalents. The D600 supports all NFC tag types and message
formats, facilitating the transition from screen-based QR codes to
NFC-based tap-and-go solutions. Tap-and-go allows you to bypass the
additional step of confirming personal IDs – ideal for improving
throughput when user identification is required, such as boarding
passes and passports. NFC tag information can be associated with a
person's identity before being transmitted to the reader for
validation.
Mobile apps written with Capture SDK support all Socket Mobile
products, including the D600 and the S550 desktop NFC readers. This
broad support enables developers to transition from QR code reading
to a combination of QR code and/or NFC tag reading. Apps designed
to read NFC Forum tag messages with the D600 can read the same
message (encoded in a QR Code) using a Socket Mobile 2D barcode
scanner. This allows developers to focus on their app's features
and experiences without concern for compatibility across customer
devices.
All new D600 NFC readers achieve compatibility with the NFC
Forum specifications—including NFC apps on iOS and Android
phones.
"The D600 is designed to ensure the broadest support for all
customer devices, making it easier than ever to perform virtual
card interactions with Socket Mobile NFC readers. Virtualized cards
in Mobile Wallets are convenient, secure, and contact-free using
the consumer's mobile device. New use cases, such as vaccine
passports launched using QR codes, can be transitioned to NFC
contactless implementations with the release of this new product,"
says Vincent Coli, NFC Product
Manager.
In addition to the D600, the S550 desktop NFC reader can support
mobile passes, including Apple VAS and Google SmartTap, making it
easier than ever for businesses to leverage Mobile Wallet
opportunities. Socket Mobile continues to bring new and innovative
solutions to its developer community so they can easily deploy NFC
tag and other data capture solutions.
