What is Kantech Proximity Cards?
As proximity key fobs, proximity key tags and
proximity cards, Kantech Proximity Cards make use of proximity technology i.e.
for unlocking or accessing an electronic lock they require low-frequency radio
signals (RFID) transmitted by a proximity reader.
How do Kantech Proximity Cards operate?
Kantech proximity card functions in the same principle as
another proximity card. It makes use
of proximity technology wherein the proximity reader transmits low-frequency
radio signals which are identified by the antenna placed in the proximity card
and the energy generated by the antenna is moved to the microprocessor embedded
in a microchip in the card. Once the microchip is powered by the energy
transferred by the antenna, it generates a code which is further passed on to
the proximity reader which in turn verify the code with the access database of
the central system. And once the verification is executed, access is granted.
Features of Kantech Proximity Cards and
Reader
Kantech proximity cards and readers provide an efficient
access control mechanism. They are easy to install and provides advanced security
features. The Kantech proximity cards
easily integrate with its access control
system including both physical and logical access control system. The proximity
readers of Kantech proximity cards
or the ioProx cards are attuned with dual programmed proximity cards which are
Kantech Extended Secure Format (XSF)) and 26-bit Wiegand. The XSF cards cannot
be duplicated as these are encoded with more than four billion codes. Kantech proximity cards are available
in various shapes and materials. Kantech
proximity cards work on reliable technology that easily integrates with
Kantech proximity readers. Kantech
proximity cards are flexible and can be easily carried or attach to a key
ring, lanyard, or badge clip. Few types of Kantech
proximity readers can even be connected to the smartphone non-metallic
surface, and few of them can be used for dye sublimation printing. The Kantech proximity readers can be
selected on various parameters for the proximity card. Such as by mounting
option, in which the proximity reader can be in the form of mullion or a gang
box; proximity card compatibility, in which the proximity reader can be either
26-bit Wiegand or XSF, or also by authentication and read range. For both
indoor and outdoor usage, the proximity cards are designed as weatherproof to bear
the harsh environmental situations.
Benefits of Kantech Proximity cards
Kantech proximity cards use proximity technology. As these
cards are cost effective and thus they are chosen as a preferable option for
setting up access control mechanism for the organization. They are designed in
the format of standard credit cards, and so they can easily be placed in
wallet, badge clip, lanyard, etc.
Kantech proximity cards are flexible and can be punched in both vertical
and horizontal way. These are passive cards and thus does not require any
battery for recharging and have lifetime warranty available. Kantech proximity cards are adaptable to any environment as
these are weatherproof, compact, flexible, resistant and attractive.
