Socket Mobile S550 Cordless NFC Reader is First to Receive NFC Forum Certification

Socket Mobile announced that its NFC reader/writer, the S550, is the first cordless reader to achieve CR12 certification from the NFC Forum Certification Program.  NFC Forum certification ensures that the S550 can read all NFC Forum compliant tags which number in the billions.

"Achieving NFC Forum certification is a key milestone in the NFC journey, as it guarantees reader/tag compatibility in a highly secure but complex NFC ecosystem. The combination of Socket's NFC hardware and CaptureSDK tools, enables our application partners to avoid the complexity and focus on using NFC data to enhance their application. Our application partners will now have the ability to support a host of NFC centric interactions, such as the tap of a phone with a mobile driver's license for fast, simple and secure electronic age verification, replacing the time consuming and unreliable visual verification system mostly used today," said Dave Holmes, Chief Business Officer at Socket Mobile.
