Secura Key has announced that it is now offering HID compatible 26-bit Wiegand-effect access control cards. These cards are available from Electro-Com Australia.
Although true Wiegand-effect swipe cards are considered a legacy technology, many large access control systems continue to use Wiegand technology because the readers are sealed, reliable, weatherproof unit and because the cards are highly difficult to copy and they do not wear out.
Secura Key’s 35 years of card manufacturing expertise allows it to build flatter Wiegand cards with fewer cosmetic flaws, which is particularly important for dye sublimination printing.
Secura Key can also offer multi-technology cards incorporating both Wiegand and Contactless smart card technology in a single package.
This allows Wiegand card customers a new upgrade path to the Secura Key e tag contactless smart card line. Secura Key offers 4-colour custom printing, optional mag stripe, laser engraved card numbers plus shorter lead times.
