APPLICATIONS & INTEGRATION
Designed for Embedded Kiosk Integration
The detachable antenna design gives system integrators more flexibility when installing the NFC interface inside a kiosk or self-service machine. The main board can be installed separately from the antenna, allowing the contactless reading area to be positioned behind the equipment’s front panel.
Typical Applications
- Self-service kiosks
- Vending / kiosks
- Access control terminals
- Transportation equipment
- e-Payment terminals
- e-Government equipment
- Visitor management systems
- Embedded NFC applications
Mechanical Integration
The ACM1552U-Y3 consists of a compact main board and a separate antenna board. This structure allows the antenna to be mounted at a different position from the main electronics, which is useful when integrating the reader behind a kiosk front panel.
