HID Contactless/Proximity Card Reader

Sep 12, 2008 9:55 AM

The RPK40 multiCLASS card reader is part of an HID Global series designed for users who are upgrading their current card system from proximity technology to iCLASS credentials. The reader enables the user to transition to smart cards over time while incorporating the use of multiple card technologies within a single building or across multiple facilities. The reader reads 125 KHz HID, Indala or AWID proximity cards and 13.56 MHz iCLASS, MIFARE, DESFire and PIV cards. Dual-factor authentication combines the presentation of a contactless card with the entry of a PIN. For security, all RF data transmission between the card and the reader is encrypted using a secure algorithm, and an internal tamper switch facilitates notification of a tamper alarm. An audio sounder provides various tone sequences to signify access granted, access denied, power up and diagnostics. The unit is housed in a weatherproof polycarbonate enclosure for indoor/outdoor functionality. Visit hidglobal.com.
