We’ve made a habit out of cramming T5577s anywhere we can fit them. And now @amal has taken it the next level with the dUG4T. This implant is our two most capable magic chips in one 24mm package. If you’re looking for a “one to rule them all” implant for access control, this is hands down the best option.
For those not familiar with either chip…
The T5577 is capable of emulating just about any type of LF (125kHz) transponder–many of which are used in legacy access control systems. The ultimate gen4 is capable of pretending to be most of the common HF transponders (NTAGs, MIFARE Classic 4 and 7 byte UIDS, MIFARE Ultralight and more complete with configurable features such as the SAK).
To sum it up: two chips, big range, massive features, one package.
Dang. I would definitely get this if it was available in Biopolymer. The reason why I like implants and not tattoos is because they are basically invisible unless I show someone. With my skin I would expect the resin ones to bulge out.
It’s the same chip so any oddities with Mifare emulation will be the same but the performance is better. Pretty easy to get reads on basically everything I’ve tried.
But the bigger kicker is that the dUG4T’s circular antenna can just be scanned. It doesn’t have to be presented just-so (the narrow antenna is still way less particular than an x-Series).
I’ve been considering getting picking up a FlexUG4, so this couldn’t have been released at a better time. Any foreseeable issues installing it on the back of the forearm, near the wrist watch area (around area 17 from Vicarious’ picture in the beginner’s guide)?
Just note that the general advice is to not wear a watch at the same location. The extra movement of the watch on the skin on the implant isn’t great for the implant. Might be different with the bioresin since it’s more ridged, but I wouldn’t risk it.
So basically make sure you dont want to wear a watch on that wrist
Awesome to hear! Didn’t know if the bioresin being less flexible would cause an issue.
Appreciate the concern. I was planning on putting it in my dominate arm, so it shouldn’t interfere with my watch. I can imagine a watch rubbing against the implant would be a… less than pleasant experience.
