HID Global has expanded its multiCLASS transition reader product line. According to the US access control and identity card product firm this provides new access control migration options to help organisations go from low frequency EM4102 proximity to the company’s high frequency iCLASS contactless smart cards.
The multiCLASS family of card readers are designed for customers upgrading their current card system from the most popular proximity technologies to iCLASS credentials. With the multiCLASS RP40, RPK40 and RP15 readers, existing EM4102 proximity customers now can move to smart cards over time while incorporating the use of multiple card technologies within a single building or across multiple facilities.
Marc Butler, product manager, HID Global, says: “HID’s commitment to providing customers with seamless migration options is clearly represented with the launch of the new EM4102 multiCLASS transition readers. This technology is particularly important in Scandinavia and Eastern Europe where EM4102 proximity solutions have a large installed base. Working closely with our customers has resulted in the development of new multiCLASS readers with EM4102 support to help them with small to large-scale migration projects.”
The multiCLASS family of transition readers offer low frequency migration from 125 kHz HID, Indala or AWID Proximity to any of the following smart card technologies:
· 13.56 MHz iCLASS, DESFire®
· ISO 15693 CSN (MyD, ICODE, Tag-it)
· ISO 14443A, CSN (MIFARE®)
· US Government PIV
When coupled with the company’s portfolio of multi-technology and combination cards, HID Global says that its range of multiCLASS readers form part of the broadest product line of technology migrations solutions in the industry. multiCLASS transition readers are backed by a lifetime warranty and are available now through HID’s network of distributors and system integrators worldwide.
