Socket Mobile, Inc. announced the expansion of their contactless product line with the S500 Token Exchange. It facilitates tap-and-go, NFC user experiences that are popular with mobile wallets and consumer engagements, applicable for payment applications, contactless passes, identifications, ticketing, and more. The S500 captures a cryptographically generated payload "token" from NFC-enabled devices (i.e. phone, smart watch, payment card or fob) with a high level of trust, and then passes this payload over Bluetooth to a tablet or PC that is running a connected application. The RF Front End can read anything HF (13.56 MHz) – from an RFID button to a Java Smart Card. Coupled with Socket Mobile's Capture SDK, application development becomes smooth, fast and frictionless. Be it iOS, Android, or Windows, the company support a wide range of modern platforms, as well as popular development environments for ultimate control over S500 Token Exchange solution. S500 MSRP: $249.00. General availability will be in third quarter. Developers can purchase the S500 at Developer's price through the Socket Mobile portal.
