RF IDeas WAVE ID Solo Keystroke EM zwart lezer

In a busy hospital ward, a nurse taps her EM4100 badge against the compact black reader mounted beside a workstation. Instantly, her ID is typed into the login field—no keyboard, no password, no wasted seconds. The RF IDeas WAVE ID Solo Keystroke EM Reader turns any proximity card into a secure, rapid authentication token for Windows, macOS, Linux, or Android systems.

Good to know

The WAVE ID Solo is compatible with EM4100-family cards and tags, which are widely used in access control. It is not compatible with high-frequency (13.56 MHz) cards like MIFARE. The LED provides clear feedback: green for successful read, red for standby or error. No special drivers are required—just connect and start typing.
