ABOUT TWN4 MULTITECH 2 M BLE
The TWN4 Multi Tech 2 M BLE reader module has integrated RFID (LF & HF) and
Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), which is supported by mobile phones with Android
version 4.3 or greater, iOS 8.0 or greater and PCs with Windows (new Bluetooth
hardware integrated). The app on the reader communicates with the BLE module
with easy commands and has direct enhancement to the GATT structure, which
gives you the flexibility to write your custom apps.
