HID Reader, Transit Readers, Access control system

HID Transit Readers are revolutionary hybrid contactless smart card readers that read secure user identification data from HID iCLASS credentials and unique serial numbers from Sony FeliCA, CEPAS and MIFARE cards for access control. Since the HID Transit Readers can read multiple card types, it provides you with one solution for all your access control system , biometric attendance requirements, now and into the future.

Using the 13.56 MHz technology platform, HID Transit Readers offer a long read range with the power and heightened security of smart card technology, making them ideal for access control system applications/ biometric attendance applications. Using the dual technology 125 kHz and 13.56 MHz RP biometric readers allows sites to either utilize multiple card technologies at existing sites or migrate from the most popular proximity technologies to the most popular 13.56 MHz contactless smart cards.

HID Transit Readers are user-friendly, delivering affordability with the exceptional reliability which HID is known for worldwide. Now you have the convenience of a single card for transit and access control.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1. What are HID iCLASS Transit Readers?

HID Transit Readers are revolutionary hybrid contactless smart card readers that read secure identification data from HID iCLASS credentials and unique serial numbers from Sony FeliCa, CEPAS, and MIFARE cards. They simultaneously support both 125 kHz and 13.56 MHz technologies, providing one reader for all access control and transit pass requirements.

Q2. What card technologies do HID Transit Readers support?

HID Transit Readers support 125 kHz HID, Indala, EM4102, and AWID proximity credentials, and 13.56 MHz technologies including iCLASS, ISO 15693 CSN, ISO 14443A CSN (MIFARE, DESFire), ISO 14443B CSN, US Government PIV, FeliCa IDm, and CEPAS CAN/CSN — the widest credential compatibility available.

Q3. What are the read ranges for HID Transit Readers?

HID Transit Readers provide read ranges of 2.5–3.5" for HID Prox ISO cards, 1.0–2.25" for HID Prox Keyfob/Tag, 4.0–4.5" for iCLASS cards, 1.0–2.0" for iCLASS Key/Tag, and 2.0–2.5" for MIFARE cards (serial number). Physical dimensions are 3.3" x 4.8" x 0.95".

Q4. Can HID Transit Readers be used for credential migration?

Yes. The dual 125 kHz and 13.56 MHz capability allows sites to either support multiple existing card technology populations simultaneously or migrate gradually from the most popular proximity technologies to 13.56 MHz contactless smart cards, eliminating card format transition problems.

Q5. What certifications and warranty do HID Transit Readers carry?

HID Transit Readers carry UL 294/cUL, FCC (USA), Canada, CE Mark (Europe), New Zealand, and Australia C-Tick certifications, with Singapore, Taiwan, and Germany VdS pending. All readers come with a lifetime warranty against defects in materials and workmanship.
