FREMONT, Calif. - Californer -- Socket Mobile, Inc., a leading provider of data capture and delivery solutions, today announced the release of the DuraScan D751, a durable NFC/RFID contactless reader and writer designed for mobile use across industries such as hospitality, commercial services, and transportation & logistics.

Supported by all-day battery life, the D751 is built to read and write NFC and high-frequency RFID tags, as well as credentials presented from mobile wallets.
