    6 reasons to refresh your rf IDEAS devices


    • Enhanced security:

      Migrate away from proximity cards,
      which lack the security your organization requires. Smart cards (MIFARE, SEOS, iClass, FeliCa, LEGIC) and mobile
      credentials (NFC, Digital Wallet) offer more secure, versatile identification and authentication for users inside and outside your organization

    • Availability:

      Our new readers are immediately available in all quantities. Older readers, such as yours, are no longer
      available as they are based on older components that in many cases are no longer available or in short supply.

    • Expired warranty and outdated firmware:

      rf IDEAS devices older than one year are out of warranty and may no
      longer be supported. Also, the latest firmware updates are only
      supported on the newest generation of rf IDEAS products.

    • Smaller Footprint:

      Our new Mini form factor is 35% smaller
      and 37% lighter, saving space on your desktop.

    • Simplify remote reader management:

      Our next-generation
      readers are compatible with remote reader management and
      configuration tools that help lower costs, improve workflows
      and simplify internal IT demands.

    • Migrate to mobile:

      Futureproof your organization with
      a device that works with your current physical ID card
      credentials and can support your migration to Bluetooth®
      Low Energy (BLE), Near-Field Communication (NFC) or
      digital wallet (Apple, Google, Samsung) mobile credentials.

    The average data breach costs $4.88 million and takes 11 months to resolve — causing massive reputational and financial damage. Yet many organizations still rely on outdated proximity (prox) cards and vulnerable iCLASS
    cards that put their data at risk.
