Proximity Cards: ID High Tech That Makes Sense
Security is more critical and important than ever, particularly in
corporate and government environments. With the advent of the proximity
card, workplace security became not only much smarter, but also much easier.
Proximity Cards incorporate a contactless integrated circuit technology
that allows security or payment information to be transmitted without swiping,
with ranges from a fraction of an inch to even more than a foot, depending
on the products involved.
ID Card Group offers the leading names in Proximity Cards, representing
manufacturers like: HID, Indala, Casi Rusco and Keri Systems. The beauty
of these cards is the way they seamlessly integrate with existing card
printing setups, allowing them to be printed on as if they were ordinary
cards.
Out of the Ordinary Features And Options
But Proximity Cards are far from ordinary. “Proximity cards, also known
as smart cards, allow literally billions of different codes – making it
virtually impossible for errors or fraud to occur,” says Billy Kim, sales
manager for ID Card Group. Smart cards utilize RFID, or Radio Frequency
ID Technology to deliver powerful and convenient performance not possible
with other cards.
“These cards offer an array of programming options,” Kim says, “ranging
from sequential numbering to selected starting number. With the proper
equipment, user programming is not only possible, but practical.”
Industry Leaders Make Proximity Technology Affordable, Practical
HID offers standard non-programmed and custom-programmed cards in a
variety of models, ranging from credit card thin (The HID 1326 Iso Prox
II) to those embedded in an affordable key fob (the HID 1345 Prox II key
tag). These high-tech items come with lifetime warranties, for maximum
value.
Similarly, Indala offers credit-card thin proximity cards along with
magnetic striping (The Indala Flex ISO) as well as the FlexPass KeyTag,
which is a double-sealed unit that is ideal for active or wet environments
like spas and resorts.
Casi-Rusco’s proximity key, the CX-Key Proxlite, is ultrasonically sealed
for wet and active environments, while the CSIXO Prox-Lite proximity card
is credit card thin and is compatible with standard direct to card printers,
and come with a life time warranty. The Casi-Rusco CX-PL5 lets you bring
your proximity program to the next level with custom artwork available.
Keri Systems’ KC-26X Intelliprox cards take a different approach, and
utilize standard adhesive packs and ordinary ID Card Printers to achieve
flawless and rugged ID Proximity control. Sequential numbering is standard,
making it easy to keep track of your card allocations. KeriSystems PKT-26X
Key tag is a state-of-the-art proximity key fob in the world’s smallest
and most durable proximity tag.
“Businesses and organizations around the world are taking advantage
of access control technology for applications ranging from timekeeping
to cafeteria uses,” says Mr. Kim. “ID Card Group is proud to offer a wide
range for products using this exciting technology.”
