Prox card, proxie card, keycard, hid card, smart card, access badge, corporate 1000 card, 26 bit card – whatever you call it, the 125 kHz radio frequency card is still the most widely used card for electronic access in North America. Unfortunately, few people are aware of recent developments that threaten the security status of these familiar cards.
The word “prox” is an abbreviation of “proximity,” which just means “near.” Proximity cards are a significant upgrade for users of mag stripe or Wiegand access cards, which have to be swiped through a reader. Prox cards only need to be held near a reader to open a door, and they work through a wallet, purse, pants pocket or whatever else they are in at the time. Cardholders have enjoyed the convenience of prox cards for nearly three decades. |

Mark Degan Director of Corporate Marketing Managing your id badges is one thing but protecting that investment for your cardholder is another. Utilizing accessories not only helps extend the life of the id badge it also helps the cardholder store it securely. ID badge accessories are often an afterthought once a credential has been issued so instead of having this frame of mind, flip the script and implement accessories to help push your proud brand and protect that asset.
