ELATEC TWN4 MultiTech 2 LF HF (T4BT-FB4BEL6)

The ELATEC TWN4 MultiTech 2 LF HF stands apart from typical RFID readers by combining dual-frequency support (125 kHz/134.2 kHz LF and 13.56 MHz HF) with a compact, USB-powered design. It handles a broad range of transponder protocols—from MIFARE and NFC to EM4100 and Hitag—making it a versatile choice for access control, time tracking, and asset management. Unlike single-frequency readers, this model eliminates the need for multiple devices, simplifying integration across diverse credential ecosystems.
