PicoRead™ currently includes PicoRead™ and PicoRead™ Chipset.

The PicoRead™ product is the pioneer and front runner in contactless reader Interface Chips operating in the 13.56 MHz frequency range and whose small footprint meets the critical space- and power-saving needs of OEMs, making it the ideal solution for large-scale applications.

Fully compliant with all international standards, PicoRead™ can communicate with existing readers anywhere.

PicoRead™’s small footprint makes it easy to integrate into host devices, be they door access readers, payment terminals, fare readers, or PDAs. And of course, small footprints implies a lower cost solution.
