HID Proximity - iCLASS Credentials


The iCLASS credential family includes the most popular form factors of cards, tags and keys. HID will also offer multi-technology credentials: iCLASS Prox and iCLASS Wiegand. All iCLASS credentials will be available in either a 2Kbits (256Bytes) or 16 bits (2K Bytes) configuration.

The iCLASS Tag and the iCLASS multi-technology credentials will help support the upgrade of existing barium ferrite, barcode, magnetic stripe, wiegand or proximity systems to iCLASS technology. By affixing the iCLASS Tag to and existing card or device (such as a PDA or cell phone), you can instantly havea iCLASS technology. Multi-technology credentials allow users to carry a card with a photo ID and still experience the convenience of one card working on different types of readers.
