Experience in developing card technologies puts HID Global in a unique position to play a critical role in the evolution and adoption of smart card technology. HID’s market-leading, flexible, high-frequency product lines demonstrate the company’s commitment to support 13.56 MHz technologies. Our open architecture iCLASS and FlexSmart offerings make up the industry’s broadest range of open standard contactless smart card products, available from over 40,000 resellers worldwide.
Optimized to make physical access control more powerful, iCLASS® 13.56 MHz read/write contactless smart card technology provides versatile interoperability and is used in diverse applications including access control, network log-on security, automotive vehicle identification, cashless vending, time and attendance, event management and biometric verification.
The interoperable, ISO 14443A-compliant FlexSmart family of contactless smart card products provides customers a totally flexible platform - from the simplicity and security of HID Format MIFARE readers to completely customizable (keys and format) secure MIFARE and DESFire reader solutions. Keypad reader models are also available for high traffic use.
The multiCLASS™ multi-technology card reader combines Prox 125 kHz proximity and iCLASS ® 13.56 MHz contactless smart card and reader technologies into a single reader. It is designed for customers who are upgrading their current card system from HID Prox to HID iCLASS credentials or cards. It can also read MIFARE, DESFire, FIPS201 and Felica CSN formats.
The OMNIKEY® 5321 represents the ideal combination of contact and 13.56MHz technology in one single USB device. The dual interface feature economically supports end-user environments where both contactless and contact smart card technology are in use. The OMNIKEY® 5321 allows users to experience the convenience, speed, and security of contactless technology for applications including log-on to Windows®, networks, websites, and applications or the secure storage of user names, passwords, and personal information.
HID Global provides a wide variety of 13.56 MHz credentials including cards, tags and keyfobs. Some credentials also include combination technology, used in upgrading end-users from 125 kHz proximity to the benefits of 13.56 MHz smart card technology. These multiple technology credentials are ideal for companies preparing to transition from proximity technology to the additional speed and applications of high frequency smart card solutions. |
Optimized to make physical access control more powerful, iCLASS 13.56 MHz read/write contactless smart card technology provides versatile interoperability and supports multiple applications such as biometric authentication, cashless vending and PC log on security.
iCLASS smart cards and readers make access control more powerful, more versatile, and most important of all, offers enhanced security through encryption and mutual authentication. At the same time, iCLASS is user-friendly, delivering the convenience, affordability and reliability of proximity technology for which HID is known worldwide. |

Edge is the next evolution in access control hardware solutions. A true IP solution that meets the demands of open architecture, IP-centric environments, Edge provides fully distributed intelligence and decision making right to the door, leveraging the IT infrastructure to the maximum extent possible. Edge Power Comes Through A Single CAT-5 run to the door -- Edge IP Access Solutions run everything at the door. From reader to strike, status to REX. And since each Edge IP Access Solution can utilize PoE (Power over Ethernet) driven right through the CAT-5, separate power supplies and multi-door controllers are no longer required. Edge configurations are exactingly constructed for Host environments as well as single door applications with a wide range of unique benefits. The simplicity of Edge is available for iCLASS readers or the option of a wide array of readers when choosing an EdgePlus solution. Networked Access Solutions |
