Advantech UTC-300P-R20E Proximity RFID Reader

The Advantech UTC-300P-R20E Proximity RFID Reader is a compact USB-enabled module that adds contactless card reading to the UTC-300 Series hardware. It supports multiple card formats, including ISO15693, ISO14443A/B, Felica, and Mifare Ultralight, enabling broad compatibility with common proximity credentials used in access control and asset-tracking workflows. The reader also implements NFCIP-1 (ISO 18092) and NFCIP-2 (ISO/IEC 21481) for interoperability with NFC-enabled devices and card protocols. Housing is white and measures 101 x 37 x 25 mm, making it suitable for tight installations on UTC-300 platforms. Designated for Windows environments, it lists OS support as Windows XP/7/8, aligning with legacy and embedded deployments that rely on the UTC-300 ecosystem. In practice, the UTC-300P-R20E interfaces via USB to the host controller, providing a straightforward way to incorporate 13.56 MHz proximity reading into UTC-300-based kiosks, panels, or HMI setups. This model—P20E in the UTC-300P family—serves as a dedicated RFID reader module within Advantech’s UTC-300 peripheral family, enabling quick expansion of credentials without altering core system architecture. When planning integration, confirm host software compatibility with ISO formats and NFC protocols, and verify that your UTC-300 module and software stack can manage the read data and access decisions required by your application.
