Description
Honeywell’s OmniClass product line consists of advanced 13.56 MHz contactless secure smart card readers renowned for their exceptional reliability, consistent read range, and straightforward installation process. These smart card readers are offered in various sizes and are equipped with cutting-edge technology, allowing users to support biometric profiles and run multiple applications concurrently on a single card. OmniClass readers seamlessly retrofit any reader with a Wiegand output, including those utilizing standard HID or proximity technologies. This smart card technology is ideally suited for a variety of applications, such as access control systems, logical (PC) access, biometric template storage, parking solutions, secure IDs with embedded tamper-proof digital photos, ePurse functionality, and other scenarios requiring dependable secure read/write cards.
To facilitate the transition from a 125 kHz proximity card system to an advanced smart card system, the OmniClass range includes multi-technology reader options that support HID Prox, EM4102, and AWID proximity technologies. These readers operate with all technologies simultaneously, allowing for a smooth migration to smart cards while maintaining the use of multiple card systems within a building or across facilities. Enhanced security is achieved through mutual authentication and data encryption based on encrypted contactless communications. Regardless of whether they read proximity, OmniClass, or multi-technology cards, they transmit uniform user identification data formats to the panel, ensuring data transparency for users.
The OmniClass reader range offers numerous advantages:
– **Integrated Access Control Systems:** Quick response times enable their use in integrated access control and intrusion systems, allowing actions like triple swipes to arm systems.
– **Industry Standards Compliance:** OmniClass 2.0 readers support global 13.56 MHz smart card technology standards, including OmniClass, OmniClass 2.0, iCLASS, iCLASS SR/SE, iCLASS Seos, MIFARE Classic*, and MIFARE DESFire EV1*. Optional support for 125 kHz Prox technology, including HID Prox, EM4102, and AWID, is also available.
– **Convenience and Interoperability:** Card numbers are printed on OmniClass cards/credentials, and MIFARE Card Serial Numbers (CSN) are supported. The accessible memory facilitates vendor and application interoperability.
– **Enhanced Security:** OmniClass/iClass credentials feature secure storage and transmission of card numbers using 64-bit authentication keys encryption, suitable for most access control applications. Even higher security is attainable with AES-encrypted iClass SE/iCLASS Seos and MIFARE DESFire EV1 credentials. Dual authentication is possible with additional keypad options.
– **Easy Installation:** The simple two-piece installation includes a mounting plate and reader, suitable for both new and retrofit installations, indoors and outdoors.
– **Seamless Transition:** Multi-technology OmniClass readers ease the transition from HID Prox, EM4102, or AWID card systems to OmniClass smart card solutions.
