HID Global unveiled new access control reader and cards as options for migrating from legacy systems to 13.56 MHz contactless technologies. HID readers can be used with single- and combination-technology cards including its dual-high frequency (HF) credential.
HID’s expanded migration offering includes:
An iCLASS reader for migration from MIFARE Classic to secure 13.56 MHz MIFARE DESFire EV1 and HID iCLASS contactless technology
New multiCLASS readers for migration from legacy magnetic stripe (magstripe) and 125 kHz proximity card technology to higher-security MHz HID iCLASS contactless technology.
“HID’s expanded offering of iCLASS and multiCLASS migration readers and credentials helps users make the transition to higher security with better performance, while also empowering them to more easily and flexibly deploy multiple applications on a single credential,” said Brad Jarvis, vice president of global product marketing at HID Global. “Our migration readers enable seamless management of multiple applications and migration projects, using readers that support diverse technologies and the broadest choice of single and combination cards including our industry-first dual-HF credentials.”
Product Details
iCLASS High-Frequency Migration Reader: HID’s iCLASS reader line has now been extended to enable migration from MIFARE Classic technology to secure 13.56 MHz technologies, or to support multiple applications with a single credential that can also be used as a photo-ready identity badge. iCLASS readers are also available in configurations that provide compatibility with card technologies including: Dutch Government Rijkspas; 125 kHz proximity technologies such as HID Prox and IndalaProx; legacy technologies such as Wiegand and magnetic stripe; and other technologies including EM4102 Prox, AWID Prox, US Government FIPS 201, Sony FeliCa Transit, Singapore CEPAS Transit, Magstripe and ISO 14443/15693 card serial numbers.
multiCLASS Migration Readers
The RM40 and RMP40 are new, non-keypad versions of the company’s RMK40 and RMPK40 readers for Magstripe-to-iCLASS and Magstripe- and Prox-to-iCLASS migration, respectively, which were introduced earlier this year. The readers support ANSI/ISO 7811 magstripe data conversion or pass-through configuration in combination with HID Prox and popular 13.56 MHz contactless access control technologies including iCLASS credentials.
Dual-HF Credentials
HID’s iCLASS/MIFARE Classic, iCLASS/MIFARE DESFire EV1, and MIFARE Classic/MIFARE DESFire EV1 credentials let a user move from legacy solutions to secure contactless technologies over time, across multiple facilities, or within subsets of a larger cardholder base. The dual-HF credentials use radio frequency (RF) to combine iCLASS with MIFARE or MIFARE DESFire EV1 technologies, or to combine MIFARE Classic with MIFARE DESFire EV1 technology. The technologies are embeddable with a contact chip, and can also optionally be combined with HID Prox technology. They enable users to combine access control on a single credential with other applications including secure network, print authentication, time and attendance, digital cash and vending, transit passes, and equipment and material check-out.
Availability
HID’s iCLASS dual HF reader and multiCLASS non-keypad migration readers are available now, and the iCLASS dual-HF credentials will be available in November from the company’s network of distributors, OEMs and installers. For more information –
