The reader hosts an internal rechargeable battery and can operate both in wired mode, using a USB Type C cable, or in wireless mode through the Bluetooth® interface.

Thanks to the Bluetooth® communication interface, the skID is a perfect add-on for any Bluetooth®-enabled host such as a PC, smartphone, PDA or tablet and is compatible with Windows 8/10, Android and iOS operating systems. The device supports both Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) and Bluetooth classic communication to provide the maximum usage flexibility, including the HID profile for keyboard emulation.

The reader is based on the Impinj R2000 chipset that achieves fast reading speeds and can be used in dense reader and dense tag environments for top-class rated performances.
