Technical Reports
To read passports with a chip, the reader is equipped with an antenna that completely surrounds
the document window and tray. Whether the chip is in the front or rear cover, the data page, or
any other page, the reader’s antenna will detect and read the chip. The user does not need to turn
the book around to ensure the chip is read.
The RF (radio frequency) technology used in the Gemalto Kiosk ePassport Reader is very short
range, and does not interfere with other electronic equipment such as PC monitors, wireless
communications (for example, 802.11g) or cell phones.
