Radio Key®
Proximity credentials are compatible with all Radio Key® proximity
readers, use proven reliable technology, offer consistent read range,
unaffected by body shielding or variable
environmental conditions. Radio Key® supports formats up
to 40 bits. Radio Key® proximity cards can be used for
applications such as biometric verification, cashless vending,
and time and attendance by using the card number as a reference to
an external database.
The Radio Key®
ISO Card (RKCI) meets CR80 and ISO 7810 dimensional and thickness standards for use with direct
image and thermal transfer printers. It can be slot punched vertically or
horizontally for use with a strap/clip as a photo ID badge. A magnetic stripe
is available. Laser engraved numbering is
included.
The Radio Key®
“Clamshell” Card (RKCM)
is CR80 sized with a thicker rugged ABS card body
which allows thicker antenna windings than the ISO card, resulting
in superior read range. It includes
a molded slot for a strap and clip allowing it to be used as an ID badge
in a vertical orientation. These cards can be printed on some
reverse-transfer card printers which can accept cards more than 0.065"
thick. An optional adhesive-backed
PVC label can be used with most direct image and
thermal transfer printers to add photo ID capability to the card.
Laser engraved card numbering is included.
The Radio Key®
Key Tag (RKKT) is a rugged
black ABS key tag, which can be placed on a key ring or clipped on a lanyard,
It provides superior read range, equivalent to full-sized proximity
cards. Laser engraved numbering is included.
HID®-Formatted Proximity Cards & Key Tags
Radio Key®
Proximity credentials use Atmel®
RF technology, they can easily be programmed in HID® formats.
Radio Key’s® passive (no-battery) design allows virtually unlimited
reads. Four HID® formats are currently available (see specifications
below) but if you need a format that we currently do not offer, contact
the factory. For more information

Note that HID®-formatted credentials
cannot be read by standard Radio Key® proximity readers (RK-WM, RK-WS,
RK-WL, RK65K), they can only be read by HID® Readers or Radio Key®
Dual Technology Readers and standalones (RKDT-WS, RKDT-WM, RKDT-SA-M/S).
