Cominfo Dual Entrance RFID Reader

Cominfo Dual Entrance RFID Reader is an advanced security and access control device that exemplifies the convergence of sophisticated technology with minimalist industrial design. This innovative dual-frequency RFID reader, designed by David Polasek in collaboration with Karel Zvolsky, represents a significant advancement in contactless identification systems, featuring support for both 125 kHz and 13.56 MHz frequencies in read-only or read/write modes, with full NFC technology compatibility. The device's distinctive design philosophy emphasizes clean geometric lines and luxurious aesthetics, incorporating a water-resistant plastic housing crowned with a durable glass panel featuring an elegantly chamfered edge. Its intelligent features include an automatic LED backlight-dimming system that adjusts to ambient lighting conditions, complemented by tactile feedback through vibration for PIN input scenarios. Available in both rectangular (123 × 53 × 20 mm) and square (85 × 85 × 20 mm) configurations, the reader's design eliminates visible mounting hardware while maintaining robust security features. The integration of multiple communication interfaces, including WIEGAND, RS485, and USB, ensures versatile compatibility with existing security infrastructure. This sophisticated approach to security device design earned recognition with a Silver A' Design Award in the Security, Safety and Surveillance Products Design category, acknowledging its contribution to advancing both functional and aesthetic standards in access control technology. The reader's development, completed in December 2016, demonstrates exceptional attention to user experience through its intuitive interface and environmental adaptability, making it suitable for diverse implementation scenarios in both interior and exterior settings.
