Product Profile

HID Global, premier manufacturer of access control readers and cards, showed for the first time in EMEA on their new corporate stand at IFSEC, the RP40 MultiCLASS reader, which is a multi-technology Prox and iCLASS reader.

The RP40 is a multi-technology card reader designed for customers upgrading their current card system from HID Prox to iCLASS® credentials.  With the RP40 reader, the customer has the ability to transition to smart cards over time while incorporating the use of multiple card technologies within a single building or across multiple facilities.
