The importance and benefits of access control are in both physical and logical form. For example the proximity cards and proximity key fobs provides access control in a convenient physical form of small size devices.
There is another very smart feature of the proximity cards designed by Indala and that is the passive and no battery design nature.
There are many ways to have an electronic access in order to get the automated security of not only the personnel but also their possessions like cars.
There are not much disadvantages of using proximity key fobs except if it is mishandled.
Prox cards or Proximity cards are type of smart cards that work on the principle of “contactless technology”. Unlike ATM, debit or credit cards, which requires a reader device to read the magnetic strip, proximity cards are designed in a different way.
A proximity card also known as ‘prox’ cards are smart cards that have a feature of “contactless technology” and so they can be read without the help of a reader device which are required for reading magnetic strip cards such as debit or credit cards.
What is RFID?
Radio-Frequency Identification or RFID are related to small electronic devices that are comprises of an antenna and a tiny chip which in a combined form are known as RFID tag or RFID transponder. RFID devises perform the same action as performed by a magnetic strip or a bar code on the back of debit or credit cards. The small chip offers specific identifier for the object. Similar to bar code and magnetic strips, RFID cards are also scanned for identification purpose and retri
