Description
Kantech’s ioSmart Smart Card Readers provide an efficient and effective solution for transitioning from traditional proximity card systems to advanced smart card technology. These multi-technology readers offer compatibility with both prox and smart cards, allowing a flexible migration path for customers. Featuring end-to-end AES 128-bit encryption, ioSmart readers ensure secure data transmission between ioSmart cards and readers when connected to KT-400 or KT-1 controllers via RS-485, and from these controllers to EntraPass software using IP. Unlike many market offerings limited by proprietary technology, ioSmart embraces open technology, delivering significant adaptability. Based on MIFARE Plus smart technology for readers and MIFARE Plus EV1 for credentials, ioSmart supports a wide range of card formats, including HID® Prox, and operates with any access control system using the Wiegand protocol. For streamlined and cost-effective installation, ioSmart Smart Card Readers can be directly wired to standard door contacts and T.Rex devices, eliminating the need for extensive wiring to a central controller.
