rf IDEAS WAVE ID Solo Mini Reader

rf IDEAS WAVE ID Solo Mini

The WAVE ID Solo Mini from rf IDEAS is a compact, USB-powered RFID card reader designed to read 13.56 MHz smart cards (e.g., iCLASS, MIFARE, NFC). It’s ideal for securely identifying users and integrating with systems for tasks like single sign-on, time & attendance, secure printing, or access control. Thanks to its small footprint and plug-and-play design, it’s easy to deploy on desktops or embedded in hardware without taking up much space.

Form Factor & Connectivity

• The Solo Mini is designed in a space-efficient, low-profile package that makes it great for desktop or embedded use.
• It connects via USB-A, drawing power from the host, so you don’t need a separate power supply.

RFID / Smart Card Compatibility

• Operates at 13.56 MHz, supporting major contactless smart-card standards like ISO 14443A, ISO 15693, MIFARE Classic, MIFARE DESFire, iCLASS CSN, and more.
• The Mini model is specifically a CCID reader, meaning it behaves like a standard smart-card reader to the operating system, making integration very flexible

Data Output Modes

• There are versions that emulate a keyboard (keystroke) as well as “raw data” / SDK versions.
• With the SDK-compatible models, you can integrate directly into your application and read full card data, giving you more control over authentication or data extraction.

Onboarding / Enrollment Use Cases

• Well-suited for enrollment applications: using existing proximity/contactless ID cards, the Solo Mini can be deployed to “onboard” users into software systems for more than just door access.
• Useful in visitor management, training, time and attendance, healthcare or industrial settings.<.li>

Security & Flexibility

• Developers can leverage rf IDEAS’ Universal SDK to build custom integrations and workflows.
