Line of proximity cards

by Mark Rowe

Ultra Electronics ID, the identity card printer manufacturers, announce UltraSecure, a new line of cards for proximity access-control systems.

Proximity cards are used in office buildings, hospitals, schools and other places to unlock doors, open gates and monitor access to secure facilities.

UltraSecure proximity cards were designed from the ground-up says Ultra ID to simplify the process of installing more or replacement proximity cards at any secure facility. They integrate with all proximity systems. A read/write data chip allows the card to hold one of 137 billion unique security codes. The chip is compatible with 26-40 bit proximity systems including all standard and most custom formats.

Many legacy proximity cards have a bulky “clamshell” design, for durability. UltraSecure cards have a thin, credit-card ISO CR-80 form factor that it is claimed matches the durability of ‘clamshell’ cards thanks to PET composite plastics. The cards resist warping and yellowing, according to the makers. PET is recyclable so that sites using these cards can meet ‘Zero Waste’ goals, the manufacturer adds.

UltraSecure proximity credentials are produced in the United States and internationally by ISO 9001 certified factories and proprietary centres. Ultra ID adds that users can receive custom-programmed shipments of up to 10,000 proximity credentials in under a week from an Ultra ID dealer. The ID product firm adds that it guarantees every credential for as long as it is in use.
