VTAP100 NFC reader - RS-485/OSDP, outdoor

The VTAP100 from Dot Origin can selectively read and decrypt NFC pass data from iPhone or Android devices, and transfer this data to a connected system. It can also read unique IDs and secure encoded data from many RFID and NFC cards and tags, including MIFARE Classic and DESFire.
 
The VTAP100-PAC-485 is a version of the VTAP100 which can transfer pass data over a standard RS-485 interface, with optional OSDP support, for use in appropriate access control applications, as a door or turnstile reader. The narrow, compact case can positioned horizontally, or easily mounted on walls or door frames.
 
VTAP100 has been designed to support a smooth transition from plastic to mobile NFC passes so, alongside mobile passes. All VTAP100 readers will also read UID or data from MIFARE, DESFire and NTAG smartcards and tags, to support mixed-use applications. MIFARE secure sector and DESFire secure file reading is also implemented to support migration from legacy systems. Each VTAP reader is fully certified by both Apple and Google to work with their respective VAS and Smart Tap protocols, supporting automatic pass selection on iOS, as well as on-board decryption.
 
The VTAP100 RS-485 reader can be used in many environments, including gym check-in and sports ticketing, and is suitable for outdoor use. Pass data can be transferred over the RS-485 interface using various protocols and formats to suit your access controller, including the latest Open Supervised Device Protocol (OSDP), for secure communications with a compatible access control unit.
 
A USB connection from any PC is used to configure the VTAP100, by editing simple text files. Keys can be easily updated but cannot be extracted from the device. The configuration can be locked, so that the device is password protected or read-only in general use. Settings include support for multiple pass profiles, private keys, OSDP commands and tailored user feedback over RGB LEDs and a buzzer.
 
The VTAP100-PAC-485-CC is supplied in a compact plastic case. We can supply customised front labels for a small additional fee, typically for orders of 100 or more units.
 
This is all you need to get started with mobile NFC pass reading, as it includes access to create demonstration mobile passes, so that you can test your application. For production purposes you will need to use a third-party pass provider, or integrate directly with Apple and Google.
 
Other versions of VTAP100 are available, for example the VTAP100-PAC-W which has a Wiegand interface and is presented in a compact case, and the VTAP100-OEM which is a pre-certified PCB module available to integrators, providing both USB and RS-232 serial connectivity. Please contact us to discuss availability of these options.
