Compare HID iClass Credentials - 13.56 MHz Contactless

HID iCLASS Credentials offer iCLASS 13.56 MHz contactless read/write smart card technology along with the ability to add a magnetic stripe, barcode, and anti-counterfeiting features including custom artwork or a photo identification directly on the credential.

An HID iCLASS card, keyfob, or tag can be utilized for diverse applications such as:

• Access control
• Network log-on security
• Automotive vehicle identification
• Cashless vending
• Time and attendance
• Biometric verification

Below, we compare the read ranges and other select features of our most popular HID iClass contactless credentials, tags, and keyfobs.

With so many variables, ordering HID iClass cards, tags and keyfobs can be a technical and confusing process. We're here to help - and we'll make it easy for you!

Presently HID develop TAG. The HID iCLASS Tag can turn a plastic ID badge into an iCLASS contactless smart card credential. Effortlessly upgrade from Prox, mag stripe or barium ferrite technology to a smart card technology with more secure access control by simply attaching the small, circular iCLASS Tag to your existing card. The iCLASS Tag will also adhere to any non-metallic device, such as a cell phone or PDA, to instantly create a contactless smart card.

iCLASS was specifically designed to make access control more powerful, more versatile, and more secure. iCLASS 13.56 MHz read/write contactless smart card technology provides versatile interoperability in applications such as access control, network log-on security, cashless vending, time and attendance, event management and biometric identification.

iCLASS technology ensures high security with mutual authentication between card and reader, encrypted data transfer, and 64-bit diversified keys for read/write capabilities. Securely separated files enable multiple applications and support future growth.
