HID SmartTrans
HID SmartTrans - Access control system
The HID SmartTRANS ISO 14443 and 125 kHz biometric reader is a flexible, highly secure and stylish dual-technology contactless smart card biometric reader ideal for customers migrating from the most popular 125 kHz readers to 13.56 MHz ISO 14443 smart cards. Designed for a wide variety of applications from entry level access control to secure ID management, the reader family is completely configurable for every biometric access control application challenge.
The HID SmartTRANS reader offers the ultimate choice in interoperability and programmability. Its unique capabilities, such as reading any HID MIFARE sector and/or DESFire® application data file, meet all installation requirements. Combined with the capability of reading 125 kHz HID Prox and AWID, HID SmartTRANS enables migration paths from 125 kHz to 13.56 MHz and/or interoperability among multiple card populations.
HID SmartTRANS biometric readers offer one of the broadest ranges of card compatibility in the industry and can be configured as a specific solution for each project (see specifications chart on opposite side for specific compatibilities). The HID SmartTRANS reader is available with or without keypad, adding an extra layer of protection for higher security installations.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. What is the HID SmartTrans reader?
The HID SmartTrans is a flexible, dual-technology contactless smart card reader that supports both 125 kHz proximity (HID Prox, AWID) and 13.56 MHz ISO 14443 (MIFARE, DESFire, FIPS 201) card technologies simultaneously. It is ideal for organizations migrating from legacy 125 kHz proximity systems to modern 13.56 MHz smart card technology.
Q2. What card technologies does the HID SmartTrans support?
The HID SmartTrans supports 125 kHz read-only HID Prox and AWID proximity credentials, and 13.56 MHz read-only MIFARE, DESFire, or FIPS 201 contactless smart cards. It can read any HID MIFARE sector and/or DESFire application data file and supports HID Corporate 1000 card formats.
Q3. What is the read range of the HID SmartTrans reader?
The HID SmartTrans provides read ranges of up to 1.5" (3.8 cm) for MIFARE cards and up to 1.3" (3.2 cm) for HID Prox/AWID proximity credentials. Physical dimensions are 5.59" x 1.81" x 0.98" (14.2 x 4.6 x 2.5 cm).
Q4. Is the HID SmartTrans available with a keypad?
Yes. The HID SmartTrans is available with or without a keypad, allowing organizations to implement card-only or card-plus-PIN dual-factor authentication depending on the security level required for each installation.
Q5. Can the HID SmartTrans reader be updated in the field?
Yes. The SmartTrans is field upgradeable — firmware and field configuration can be updated using cards or a serial connection without replacing the hardware, ensuring a future-proof investment as credential technologies evolve. It carries a lifetime warranty.
