Card Emulation

Card Emulation Overview

Card emulation enables a DynaFlex/DynaProx device to simulate a Type 4 smart card. The emulated card has the following characteristics:

  • Compliance: Card emulation conforms to ISO/IEC 14443 Type-A and NFC Forum Type 4 standards.

  • Passive Operation: The emulated card functions in passive mode. The phone is responsible for generating the magnetic field required to activate the simulated card.

  • Read-Only: The emulated card is read-only and does not support writing.

  • Supported Data Type: Supports the URI (URL) data type.

Device Compatibility

  • iPhone Support: NFC card reading was introduced on Apple iPhones starting with the iPhone 7.

  • Android Support: Android added NFC support in 2012; however, compatibility depends on the specific phone model and hardware capabilities. Most Android phones released since 2016 support NFC. Verify with the phone’s manufacturer to confirm compatibility.

Google Pay Indicator: If a phone supports Google Pay, it is likely capable of reading NFC tags.
