The WisBlock NFC RFID Module – RAK13600 brings NFC and RFID capabilities to the WisBlock ecosystem. Built around the widely used NXP PN532 chip, the module allows interaction with NFC tags, RFID cards and NFC-enabled devices such as smartphones.
 
Using an external NFC antenna (included), the module can operate as an NFC reader/writer, card emulator or peer-to-peer device. This flexibility enables applications such as secure identification, device pairing, configuration interfaces and contactless access systems.
 
Communication with the WisBlock Core is handled via I²C, allowing simple integration into embedded firmware. The module supports multiple NFC standards including MIFARE, FeliCa and NFCIP-1, making it suitable for a wide range of IoT and automation projects.
