Multi-ISO NFC RFID Reader Writer – µFR Zero HS

Ultra-High-Speed ISO14443 Type A & B, ISO15693, Extended APDU

NFC RFID Contactless Reader Writer – µFR Zero HS is the next-generation advanced development tool, engineered as the high-speed successor to the legacy µFR Nano. Operating at 13.56 MHz, this UART-focused device complies with ISO14443 A&B and ISO15693 standards, delivering unmatched performance for modern RFID/NFC applications.

Designed for IT professionals, developers, and enterprises, the µFR Zero HS combines ultra-fast data transfer with robust cross-platform compatibility. It includes free SDK source code, enhanced firmware with AES256 encryption, USB C and low-latency UART communication variants, and a compact form factor. The device also features a redesigned antenna for extended read ranges (up to 70mm) and improved interference resistance.

As an advanced replacement for the µFR Nano, the Zero HS offers seamless backward compatibility with existing SDK libraries while introducing new features like dynamic power management and native NFC Forum Tag Type 5 (Vicinity) support. Available in UART TTL and USB-C configurations, it is ideal for embedded systems, IoT devices, and high-throughput industrial applications.


Who is it for?

µFR Zero HS is tailored for developers and enterprises requiring high-speed RFID/NFC operations. Its variant with the USB C connector is designed to conform with global USB communication standards. In contrast, its variant with an expanded UART interface (up to 3.4 Mbps) makes it ideal for IoT edge devices, industrial automation, and real-time applications. Backward compatibility with µFR series SDKs ensures easy migration, while new features like multi-tag anti-collision and NFC-V support future-proof your projects.

Hardware

Powered by the latest NXP PN7160 IC, the µFR Zero HS supports ISO/IEC 14443 A/B, ISO/IEC 15693, and NFC Forum Tag Types 1-5. Its optimized antenna design ensures stable communication up to 70mm, even in noisy environments. Key hardware upgrades include:

  • USB-C connectivity (default variation)
  • UART TTL interface with baud rates up to 3.4 Mbps (additional variation)
  • Dynamic power adjustment for low-energy applications
  • Extended tag support: ICODE, NTAG 5 boost, MIFARE DESFire EV3, and JCOP 4.0

Its variant with the USB C connector is designed to conform with global USB communication standards. In contrast, its variant with an expanded UART interface (up to 3.4 Mbps) makes it ideal for IoT edge devices, industrial automation, and real-time applications.

OEM & CUSTOM INTEGRATION

The µFR Zero HS is available as a compact OEM module (28x18x4mm) with:

  • USB-C (with PD support)
  • I²C/SPI (configurable firmware)
  • UART TTL (5-pin header)

Firmware

  • AES256 hardware encryption for secure transactions
  • Multi-tag inventory mode (supports up to 16 tags simultaneously)
  • NFC-V (ISO15693) protocol integration
  • Low-power sleep modes (<10µA standby current)

Firmware updates remain free via DLogic’s GitLab repository, and deployed devices can be upgraded over the air (OTA).

Supported platforms include:

  • PC
  • Tablet
  • Smartphone
  • Embedded systems
  • Raspberry Pi and other compatible Single Board Computers
  • BeagleBoard

Accordingly, the project code and developed software are secure, so there is no need to make changes after the firmware upgrade. All firmware updates and upgrades are FREE and available at the Digital Logic official GitLab repository.

Software Development Kit

The SDK retains µFR series cross-platform compatibility while adding:

  • Python 3.10+ and Rust libraries
  • ARM Cortex-M precompiled binaries
  • WebUSB API for browser-based apps
  • MQTT/HTTP integration examples

Shipping Policy

FAST DELIVERY! We ship worldwide via FedEx, UPS, DHL, and USPS because they’re Fast, Reliable, Affordable, and Easily Trackable. We process orders in 24 hours; delivery may take 4 to 7 days or sooner, depending on your location. Once shipped, you will receive an email with your tracking number.

Ships From: Not all our products are shipped from the USA; some are from different countries and regions like China, Taiwan, or Europe. Therefore, the amount of tariff you will pay will differ depending on which country your order will be shipped from. This is to keep tariffs as low as possible, because not all countries charge the same amount. For example, if the US imposes a tariff of 145% on goods from China, other countries will impose a much lower tariff on products shipped from China. Please check the "Ships From:" label on this product to see which country it will be shipped from.

TARIFF: The tariff will only affect customers in the country where they reside and order. Please check the "Ships From:" label on this product page to see which country we will ship this product from. While not all products require a tariff, some may require a minimal or no tariff in your country. If applicable, the buyer will pay the tariff within their respective country. The total amount of your order does not include a tariff. Please enter a reachable phone number during checkout so the Shipping Company can contact you to pay the tariff once your parcel arrives at your destination.

Why don't we add tariffs to the product's retail price? If all countries imposed the same tariff amount and used the same currency, we would have added the tariff amount to the product price. However, we do not do that because each country charges a different amount and uses a different currency, while some do not even charge a tariff. Therefore, we can't add a tariff to the product's retail pricing. Oz Robotics' manufacturing partners, or suppliers are not responsible for tariffs. Please check the "Ships From:" label on the product page to see the product's origin. The total amount for your order does not include a tariff. The customer must pay the tariff. We will not cancel your order or refund you if you do not pay the tariff. More Details.

SHIPPING COSTS: For some industrial products, e.g., heavy wheels, CNC machines, etc., the shipping cost is calculated based on the product weight, not quantity. For lower shipping costs for orders with multiple items, please email us at sales@ozrobotics.com before you buy. We show shipping rates on the product page under the SHIPPING tab. To see the shipping cost for your country, click add to cart on the product page.

PRODUCT DATASHEET AND MANUAL: If applicable, the Product Documentation, such as the Datasheet, CAD Design, STP Files, Manuals, Reference Materials, and Tutorials, will be available for download upon purchase from the My Account as needed.

REFUND POLICY: Oz Robotics accepts refunds on a minimal basis unless there is a manufacturing defect. For electronic items, returns are only accepted on devices with serious and irreversible problems; meanwhile, the customer must apply for the returns within seven days of delivery. Before a refund acceptance, please include images or a video and any other proof of the defect. For more info please visit Refund Policy.

Once we agreed on a return, you can ship your defective item to the provided address, which you should receive from us first. Please ship the order in its original packaging with all the accessories and additional parts. If the Required Parts are not sent back, they will be billed for or expected to be shipped later. We will check the product for testing once all items have arrived. In your package, include a signed letter stating the reason for the product return, the original receipt, proof of defect, images, a video, etc. It will help us to speed up the process for you.

When returning the item, the customer is responsible for the shipping cost. However, we will assess the product, and if it is determined that there is a manufacturing defect and the product is not fixable, we will refund the shipping cost, repair, replace, or refund the full amount to the customer.

Do not return your product to our New York office. For any exchange or refunds, email us first at support@ozrobotics.com for us to provide you with the steps that need to be followed.
