Solution

  • Yes it is an RFID card.

    A lot of information can be derived from the documentation of the terminal you specified Intelligent Tablet Payment Terminal i9300.

    1. The card and the reader is tuned to work in High Frequency(HF) range of 10-20Mhz, specifically 13.56MHz. It is a read-write card and hence the terminal provided to you must also be a read/write capable.
    2. I am not aware with the documentation provided to you but typical RFID card can store about 2kB of data max., which will be sufficient to store a customers credits/balance points. The specific customer will be identified by the unique RFID number mapped to his name.
