Description
OmniClass™2.0
Contactless Smart, Multi-Technology, and Bluetooth® Low Energy (BLE) Readers
OmniClass by Honeywell presents a series of 13.56 MHz contactless secure smart card readers known for outstanding reliability, a consistent read range, and easy installation. Available in various sizes, each OmniClass reader integrates advanced smart card technology, enabling multiple applications per physical card and providing optional mobile credential capabilities.
The OmniClass range is designed to seamlessly replace any Wiegand output reader, including standard HID® or Honeywell proximity readers. This smart card technology is ideal for applications like access control, logical (PC) access, storing biometric templates, parking, secure IDs with embedded tamper-proof digital photos, ePurse systems, and more solutions that require secure and reliable read/write capabilities.
Building on HID’s Mobile Access™ platform, OmniClass now includes an optional Bluetooth® feature, allowing users to leverage a compatible smartphone as a credential. Readers are available in mobile-ready (prepared for mobile credential use without loaded mobile keys) or mobile-enabled (equipped and enabled for mobile credentials) configurations.
Multi-Technology Functionality
To simplify the transition to a smart card system from a 125 kHz prox card system, the OmniClass lineup offers options that support HID Prox, EM4102, and AWID proximity technologies. These multi-technology readers work with all technologies simultaneously, allowing users to gradually adopt smart cards while utilizing multiple card technologies within a single building or across various facilities. Whether reading proximity, mobile, smart, or multi-technology credentials, the system sends identical user identification data formats to the panel, ensuring data remains transparent to users.
