Proximity Cards

Proximity smart cards operate through RFID technology. When brought near a card reader, the card initializes, and its embedded chip transmits data, typically a unique identifier. The card reader authenticates the data, deciding whether to grant or deny access. The cards prioritize security with encryption, offering compatibility with proximity card readers for seamless integration.

They have versatile applications in access control, identification, and secure transactions. They are used in time tracking, cashless payments, public transportation, student IDs, loyalty programs, hotel access, healthcare IDs, memberships, library access, event tickets, parking cards, toll collection, visitor badges, and smart city solutions. Their versatility and security features make them essential across various industries and applications.
