Secura Key's new e*Tag® Midrange Reader creates a new product category of costeffective extended read range products for the contactless smart card reader market. The e-Tag® Midrange Reader provides up to an 8" read range for about the same price as competing wall-switch readers.
Contactless Smart Card technology is ideally suited for access control, time and attendance, membership/loyalty programs, logical (PC) access, storage of biometric templates, parking, ePurse, and many other applications requiring secure and reliable read/write cards.
e*Tag® Midrange readers use 13.56 MHz technology, and work with Secura Key encoded cards and key tags that meet the ISO 15693 international standard. Secura Key uses enhanced DES encryption which makes e*Tag® cards virtually impossible to counterfeit.
Cards are available with custom 4-color graphics, or with a glossy white dye-sublimationready finish for Photo ID printing. Key tags can also be custom printed. e*Tag® credentials have additional memory that can be used for various applications, with total memory ranging from 512 bits up to 10k bits.
The e*Tag® Midrange Reader has an SIA standard Wiegand output, compatible with most access control panels including the Secura Key SC-ACP. Industry standard wire colors and functions, plus low current draw and 5VDC operation allow easy upgrade of existing Wiegand or proximity readers. The Midrange includes a convenient wiring harness, which allows the reader to be plugged in when the installation is completed. The e*Tag® Midrange Reader is a weatherproof, epoxy-potted unit suitable for outdoors, and is UL294 listed and FCC/CE approved.
