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.”
