The Time and Security Division of Amano Cincinnati Inc. recently released its advanced Multi-Discipline Reader (MDR) for physical access control. The 125 kHz Prox and ISO 14443 reader is a contactless smart card reader ideal for customers migrating from popular 125 kHz Prox cards to highly secure 13.56 MHz ISO14443 contactless smart cards. The readers offer a range of card compatibility, including MIFARE, DESFire, SmartMX, iClass, along with all HID, EM or Amano 125kHz Prox card formats. The reader is available without keypad (MDR), or with a 12-button keypad (MDK), enabling PIN-code entry for an extra layer of protection.
