Hello,
From this post (Smartcard Antennas, Contactless Readers, Performance, and You) I have understood some things about functional difference between different antenna types of flexSecure Java Card implant.
What about visual, constructive differences?
Does flexSecure with all three antenna types look the same or there are some differences in design/dimensions?
Also if somebody would give short brief what narrow/spectrum/module antenna types mean, I would say thanks to this.
Check the pictures and product page : )
For flexSecure there is just one type of photo of narrow antenna type as I understand, drop-down list doesn’t make any difference, but I see it on Apex Flex page. Thank you for the hint.
These are relatively new offerings for the FlexSecure, but I’m sure the product page will be updated with images and dimensions etc. in due course.
As mentioned above, basically the same as the Apex product range.
Heres an idea of what you are looking at in order of increasing read range
NARROW (This is actually a FlexUG4, but visually the same)
8mm x 28mm
SPECTRUM (Specifically a Vivokey Apex With blinkies, but will be the same size)
22mm diameter
MODULE
14mm x 35mm
I have an ApexFlex and FlexSecure (narrow)
The range is more than good enough, But also noticably improved with a repeater sticker.
I’m currently having problems with my FlexSecure, however, there has been an antenna redesign, which I believe is performing very well)
Whichever you choose, im sure you will be more than happy with.
