- Heightened Security - Corporate 1000 programming offers a higher level of security than the standard 26-bit cards in two ways. First, HID reserves an exclusive 35-bit format for each end user. This makes the proximity cards unique and proprietary to each company. Second, HID controls the availability of the cards by using a written authorization form. ID Wholesaler can source the cards on your behalf after we have your approval in writing.
- Duplicate Card Prevention – No matter where you purchase these cards, HID records and manages the number sequences in circulation. This prevents duplicate cards from being sold to your company. In addition, once HID provides the proprietary Corporate 1000 format code, you get the flexibility of choosing any access control hardware/software platform or system integrator.
- Expanded Range of Credential Numbers – The maximum card number for a Corporate 1000 card is 1,000,000. In comparison, standard 26-bit prox cards are limited to a maximum number of 65,535. This gives Corporate 1000 cards an additional 934,465 card numbers available before a duplicate number would be created. Due to the higher numbering available, large organizations are assured that cards will be available for a long period of time.
