F08 RFID Inlay is a 13.56MHz high-frequency contactless RFID inlay developed based on Fudan Microelectronics classic chip, which is the universal frequency for global hotel access control systems. For most of hotel access control systems, direct replacement with F08 inlays needs no secondary debugging of door lock software or hardware, which greatly reduces the cost for both hotel and manufacture to upgrade hotel system. As for the unit price, F08 inlay retains identical compatibility and use performance while cutting raw material and production costs significantly.

And the standard reading distance range of 3-10cm, fitting the conventional card-swiping distance of hotel door locks; stable identification without delay or failure. And working temperature of the F08 inlay hotel key cards range from -20℃ to +60℃, adapting to extreme temperature changes in hotel lobbies, outdoor corridors and guest rooms across different regions
