If you’re looking for a convenient
and secure access control solution,
proximity key fobs are a great choice for a number of
reasons. This is especially the case when access rights to buildings or locations within buildings are more important than photo identification card.
The benefits of
proximity key fobs are many. Users can easily unlock doors and gain access to areas without having to fish around for their photo ID card or find a key on a key ring. Most proximity fobs are specially designed to operate “passively” – without a battery – offering long-lasting use and allowing a virtually infinite number of reads or swipes.
Prox key fobs incorporate proximity technology into a device approximately the size of an automotive key. They easily attach to a key ring, badge clip, or lanyard and are built to withstand harsh operating environments or rough handling. Proximity fobs typically have a strong and somewhat flexible shell that makes them durable and resistant to cracking or breaking.
Most proximity fobs are available in the following formats:
26-bit (H10301) – Customers are required to specify a facility code and card start number when this format is ordered and are responsible for all tracking and management of card numbers.
37-bit (H10302) - Customers are not required to provide a facility code or card start number when placing an order. The manufacturer controls card numbering, ensuring that card numbers are never duplicated.
40-bit (C10106) – The manufacturer assigns the card numbering to prevent the duplication of card numbers. The card numbers are sequential in a single order, but there will be gaps in the card numbers across your entire card inventory. Compatible with Casi Rusco systems.
