Description
The multiCLASS® Magnetic Stripe readers are engineered for clients transitioning their current access control systems from traditional magnetic stripe (“magstripe”) technology to the advanced security of 13.56 MHz smart card technology. These readers accommodate multiple access control methodologies, including magnetic stripe, keypad access, HID Proximity, and 13.56 MHz smart card technology, such as iCLASS®. This makes the multiCLASS Magnetic Stripe reader series the epitome of versatility, offering a cost-effective, timely, and fully seamless migration solution without any operational interruptions.
Migration solutions often necessitate significant initial investments when lacking reader and credential components. However, the multiCLASS Magnetic Stripe reader series presents an affordable, standards-based pathway to secure credential technology. By adopting a solution centered on multiCLASS Magnetic Stripe readers along with HID multi-technology credentials, enterprises can seamlessly integrate the migration within their existing identification programs. This approach not only supports a low-level investment spread over time but also facilitates the transition to secure technology across various facilities. By upgrading to the multiCLASS reader’s enhanced security features, organizations can enhance convenience and increase the return on their credential investments by supporting multiple applications with a single card.
The reader’s removable vertical magnetic stripe component and contactless 125 kHz support ensure intuitive user interaction, preserving operational access throughout the site and minimizing confusion during the migration. Designed for optimal flexibility, the vertical magstripe backplate is mountable on either the left or right side of the primary contactless wall switch reader. Once a site fully transitions from magstripe cards, users can opt for a standard backplate to elevate security with exclusive 13.56 MHz contactless compatibility.
The multiCLASS product lineup offers genuine iCLASS security, the convenience of proximity technology, the capabilities of smart cards, and the assurance of selecting Genuine HID technology.
