Schlage OEM100 Embedded
Reader Module Provides
Popular Proximity and Smart
Card Reading
Lets OEMs Create
Aesthetically Pleasing
Products that Read Most
Popular RFID Cards
CARMEL, IN – June 21, 2011 –
Ingersoll Rand Security
Technologies, a leading
global provider of security
and safety solutions and
manufacturer of Schlage
contactless smart
credentials and readers,
announced that manufacturers
of turnstiles, vending
machines, service kiosks and
other manufactured goods
that could gain a
competitive advantage by
reading the most popular
proximity cards and/or smart
cards can now embed the
Schlage OEM100
multi-technology reader
module into their new
products. The OEM100
reader module provides the
capability to read both 125
KHz proximity and 13.56 MHz
contactless smart card
credentials.
“By reading both smart and
proximity cards, this one
module/one embedded design
solution provides a more
aesthetically pleasing and
fully integrated way for
OEMs to create product
differentiation of their
products from their
competitors’ offerings,”
emphasizes Ray Venkat,
Ingersoll Rand Security
Technologies vice president,
marketing, commercial
Americas. “Customers
selecting products that
incorporate the Schlage OEM
technology reader will not
have to upgrade from
proximity to smart cards
immediately but are prepared
for the future so that, when
their switch to smart cards
comes about, they will not
have to tear out and
re-install the OEM’s
product.
The new Schlage OEM100
reader module supports ISO
Standard 14443 technologies
and is compatible with
Schlage and XceedID
proximity credentials,
certain HID® proximity
protocols, GE/CASI Proxlite®,
AWID®, LenelProx and many
13.56 MHz technologies
including MIFARE® and
Schlage aptiQ® smart cards
featuring MIFARE DESfire®
EV1. Providing
compatibility with such a
wide range of credentials
greatly expands the number
of prospects that OEMs can
target with their new
products.
“While
125 kHz proximity
technology is the common
technology in today’s access
systems, 13.56 MHz smart
card technology is the
technology of tomorrow since
it provides more security,
storage and flexibilities,”
advises Venkat. “Since
the OEM100 reader module can
read both 125 kHz proximity
technology and 13.56 MHz
smart card technology, an
OEM customer’s users can
still use their current
proximity credentials while
migrating to smart
credentials. The
company will not have to
replace the embedded reader
once it chooses to migrate
to smart card technology.
The OEM100 reader module
lets them migrate according
to their budget and
timeline.”
The Schlage OEM100 reader
module is available now.
