FREMONT,
Calif., Dec. 5, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Socket
Mobile, Inc. (NASDAQ: SCKT), a leading provider of data capture and
delivery solutions designed to enhance workplace productivity, is
excited to announce that its SocketScan S370 Universal NFC & QR
Code Mobile Wallet Reader has achieved certification from the
NFC Forum Certification Program.
The NFC Forum Certification Program verifies consistency in the
behavior of NFC devices, confirming that products conform to NFC
Forum specifications and ensuring interoperability with other
NFC-Forum-certified devices. The SocketScan S370 has passed the
program's rigorous testing and validation process, further
certifying its interoperability and performance within a vast NFC
environment. Achieving this certification is fundamental to
ensuring users enjoy a seamless and trouble-free NFC experience
when using the S370—as the device is now validated to read all NFC
Forum-compliant tags, which number in the billions.
"Achieving NFC Forum certification for the S370 is a crucial
milestone in our NFC journey, guaranteeing reader/tag compatibility
in a highly secure but complex NFC ecosystem," stated Dave Holmes, Chief Business Officer at Socket
Mobile. "As mobile wallet credentials continue to evolve,
incorporating various forms like NFC, 1D barcodes, and 2D barcodes
such as QR codes, the S370 emerges as a comprehensive solution. It
empowers business owners to accept all these formats with one
device, ensuring they are equipped for both current and future
credential technologies without the need for additional
investments. Combining Socket's NFC hardware and CaptureSDK
simplifies support for our developers, allowing them to bypass
complexities and focus on leveraging NFC data to enhance their
applications and end-user experience. With this advancement, our
partners can now support the broadest contactless portfolio along
with the latest 1D/2D barcode technology—all with a single reader.
The S370 offers the best of both worlds in data capture technology,
and this certification reaffirms our commitment to maintaining a
high level of quality and support for our developers."
The SocketScan S370 is a high-performance data capture
platform that supports both 1D and 2D barcode scanning and NFC
reading and writing. It combines the latest 13.56 MHz Near Field
Communication (NFC) contactless technology with barcode scanning
and Bluetooth Low Energy connectivity. Designed to enable Socket
Mobile's App partners to facilitate e-wallet applications via
on-screen barcode scanning or tap-and-go NFC reading, the S370
combines leading-edge technologies that deliver an effortless data
capture experience for business owners and consumers.
Application developers who wish to enable the S370 for their
apps can do so through Socket Mobile's SDK. CaptureSDK gives
app providers the most reliable and consistent data capture
performance, enabling the app to efficiently capture data in the
physical world and utilize it in-app to maximize the value of their
solution and increase their customers' overall productivity and
satisfaction. One integration of CaptureSDK allows app providers to
offer any of Socket Mobile's data capture products interchangeably,
giving end-users the freedom to choose the best device for their
specific needs. If your app already uses CaptureSDK, the S370 works
out of the box for immediate use.
