Proximity Cards, Transponders and Card Encoders

ReaDX provides a range of proximity cards and transponder tags. In addition an Encoder is available to encode data onto these cards and tags.

Proximity Cards and Transponders

The transmission technique used between the transponder and the reader is Amplitude Shift Keying (ASK), Frequency Shift Keying (FSK) and Phase Shift Keying (PSK) modulated on a carrier wave at 125kHz*. The transponders are Temic IC's with multiple read/write capability.

ReaDX Proximity Cards include:

Half Shell cards
ISO cards, a printable laminated card similar to a credit card
ISO Magnetic cards, an ISO card containing a magnetic stripe
Key fob
Other 'special order' transponders by arrangement

The credit card sized transponders can have Photo ID added to further enhance security.
ReaDX transponders can be supplied unencoded or encoded in a range of formats and protocols (data bit lengths).

Proximity Card Encoder

Multi-modulation, multi-format, multi-protocol Encoder

The ReaDX Encoder provides the ability to encode data onto cards and tags for use with the ReaDX Prox readers. The ReaDX Encoder programs cards in a number of formats, and various protocols (data bit lengths) within those formats.

The ReaDX Programmer allows you to eliminate card programming fees. The ReaDX Programmer can operate in the ASK and FSK modulation modes.

The ReaDX Prox Programmer comprises user friendly encoding software which runs on Microsoft® Windows operating systems, and an encoding unit which connects directly to the computer.

The ReaDX Programmer software is available in EM-ASK, Casi Rusco, HID and Motorola formats including variants. Each unit's encoding software is protected by a unique software license specific to the customer. A valid operator name and password is required as a security feature. There is also an automatic audit trail maintained of card writes and reads.

* Phase Shift Keying (PSK) capability is under development and will be available on request in certain countries.
