sl2 ics2001

[davidpark]

HI This is David Park from M3mobile in South Korea.

I have an issue about the reading of your Tags so called SL2 ics2001 type of tags with our NFC reader.

When I tried to read in normal state without metal materials, our device can read the tags well but,

When I tried to do it on the metal places, our device cannot read the tags.

Is this the character of the Tag type?

We would like to know whether that issue is coming from our devices or that type of tags.

One of our customers in Australia is now using the tag(sl2 ics2001) and they have a project with the tag and our devices.

and I would like to know that reason.

Thank you in advance.

Hello David Park:

Just pasting here in community the response to your support case in our system:

---------------------------------------------------------

It is expected that metal surfaces affect NFC readings performance, up to the point of not being able to read tags. This issue is not strictly related to the tag but to NFC technology physics in general.

I would recommend you to give a check to the next webinars in NXP webpage which discuss metal environment influence and a way to improve it:
