Our history
The success story of ELATEC began in 1988 with the distribution of electronic components. Continuous innovation and agility were the driving forces in our growth. The development of multi-technology readers was our ticket into international markets. One-of-a-kind hardware and software along with unparalleled service remain our unique attributes to this day. Because ELATEC is and will remain a company like no other: with passionate employees who work together to achieve extraordinary things for you. Our shared vision: we want you to benefit from the advantages of RFID technology in many more areas of application. We are working on it.
RFID only
Focus on core business. The top sellers at the time: RFID readers with 125 kHz low frequency.
Breakthrough in secure printing
We integrated RFID in multifunctional printers for the first time: the beginning of an ongoing success story.
Perfect interplay of hardware and software
The new TWN3 product family is a revolution: reading/writing devices were never so easy to configure and integrate.
The magic word: universal
The TWN4 generation tops everything that came before: the multi-technology reading/writing devices are compatible with virtually every industrial application.
Capturing new markets
We expand our international business: the opening of our first American location in Florida, USA is a total success.
Innovations with BLE
We tap into BLE technology for our customers: with an exemplary market launch of the Bluetooth-capable TWN4 MultiTech 2 BLE.
Palon Family
A family of multi-function readers optimized for physical access control and time & attendance applications.
Mobile Credentials
For the first time, ELATEC now offers you both components for this area: the reader and the transponder. And this as a separate ELATEC App or alternatively as a solution from our partners. For BLE on iOS and Android mobile devices and for NFC on the Android platform.
TWN4 Slim
The power of the TWN4 family in a slim, compact reader that is smaller than a credit card. Perfectly suited for integration into devices where space is at a premium.
Acquisition Xccelo
At the beginning of the year, ELATEC acquired Xccelo GmbH to expand their physical access expertise and product offerings. In the course of the integration, Xccelo was transformed into ELATEC Systems GmbH.
LEGIC SM-6300
The new powerful LEGIC SM-6300 as front-end chip supports many well-known RFID and smartcard contactless technologies. In conjunction with the integrated BLE module, LEGIC Connect Mobile Credentials can also be processed. This LEGIC service is available to mobile users for the familiar smartphone systems and can now be processed with the new ELATEC products.
