Description
HID Global’s pivCLASS reader portfolio comprises a comprehensive range of contactless, hybrid contact/contactless, and biometric access control readers. These solutions are specifically designed to integrate with the pivCLASS Authentication Module (PAM), adhering to assurance level standards outlined in NIST Special Publication 800-116 and the federal FICAM E-PACS guidelines. pivCLASS readers offer flexibility by supporting both the Wiegand and PAM operational modes. Wiegand mode is suitable for deployments lacking a PAM, facilitating a gradual transition towards FIPS 201 compliance. Upgrading from Wiegand to PAM mode is achievable in the field by updating the reader’s firmware. The advanced capabilities and high-quality features of pivCLASS readers provide exceptional value in protecting facilities while ensuring compliance with FIPS 201 standards.
