Access control manufacturer HID Global has launched a new version of the company’s RP40 multiCLASS reader.
In continued support of the multiCLASS reader line, the RP40 now supports Indala 125 kHz proximity and AWID, in addition to HID proximity. The 125 kHz proximity and 13.56 MHz contactless smart card and reader technologies combine into a single reader, providing extra support for users upgrading from proximity cards to the contactless smart cards, the manufacturer report. The RP40, accoring to the makers, provides a multi-technology migration path for the large installed bases of Indala and AWID customers. With multiCLASS, the customer can move to contactless smart cards over time while incorporating the use of multiple card technologies within a single building or across multiple sites. Jack Bubany, HID’s Product Manager, Reader Products, says: “The multiCLASS reader is the ultimate migration tool. With our unique card technology read selection feature, customers have endless card management flexibility, with security and simplicity.”
