Eccel Technology is a UK-based manufacturer of embedded electronics and RFID/NFC products. Its website showcases RFID readers/writers, modules, antennas, tags, smart cards, evaluation/development boards, as well as custom design and PCBA manufacturing services. It is not a traditional software IDE or cloud development platform; rather, it is an RFID/NFC embedded development and integration toolchain aimed at hardware engineers and OEM manufacturers.
Its core products include the Pepper C1/C2, Pepper C1 MUX, Pepper C1 PoE, RFID B1, Chilli B1, MicroRWD, and other series, covering 125 kHz LF and 13.56 MHz HF/NFC, with UHF read ranges mentioned as reaching up to 15 m. Interface support is fairly comprehensive, with USB, UART, Ethernet, RS232, RS485, SPI, I2C, Wiegand, and more available depending on the model. The Pepper C1 family also supports protocols such as TCP Server/Client, REST API, MQTT, WebSocket, and Bluetooth BR/EDR + LE, making it suitable for IoT and industrial network integration. Supported tag standards include MIFARE Classic, Ultralight, DESFire, Plus, ICODE, NTAG, Tag-it, Hitag, EM400X, and others.
The website uses a hardware-by-item sales model, with common modules priced at around £16.95–£66.45. For example, the Pepper C2 starts at £18.95, while the Pepper C1 PoE starts at £60.50. The official site states a minimum order value of £50; smaller orders can be purchased through distributors such as Digi-Key, RS Components, and TME.
The advantages are a comprehensive product lineup covering readers/writers, modules, antennas, cards, tags, and development boards; rich interface options suitable for embedded systems; CE/FCC and other certifications for some Pepper C1/C2 products, which can reduce OEM compliance risk; and free software libraries for C, C#, Java, Linux, Arduino, and more. The limitations are that the website reads more like a product catalog, with full API documentation, example code quality, and open-source strategy not fully presented; capabilities vary significantly between models, so first-time selection requires careful comparison.
It is suitable for device manufacturers that need to integrate RFID/NFC into their own hardware, industrial automation teams, logistics/asset management system integrators, smart shelf or multi-antenna read-zone projects, and OEM projects that need pre-certified modules to shorten time to market.
