OmniClass™ Prox PVC Card with Magnetic Stripe

OmniClass™ Prox PVC card with a magnetic stripe are designed to work with OmniClass™ multi-technology readers. OmniClass readers are 13.56 MHz contactless secure smart card readers that offer superb reliability, consistent read range, and ease of installation. The readers are available in several sizes and incorporate smart card technology allowing the user to support biometric profiles and multiple applications on each card simultaneously. OmniClass can retrofit any Wiegand output reader, including standard HID® or Honeywell proximity readers. Smart card technology is ideally suited for access control, logical (PC) access, storage of biometric templates, parking, secure IDs with embedded tamper-proof digital photos, ePurse, and many other applications requiring secure and reliable read/write cards.

To make it easier for customers to transition to a smart card system from a 125 kHz Prox card system, OmniClass readers include options that can support HID Prox, EM4102, and AWID proximity technologies. These multi-technology readers work with all technologies simultaneously and will allow 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. In addition, OmniClass readers provide enhanced security through mutual authentication and data encryption when using the smart card credential based on the encrypted contactless communication. Whether reading proximity, OmniClass, or multi-technology cards, identical user ID data formats are sent to the panel keeping the data on the card transparent to the user.
