Cardax Prox Readers
Cardax Prox readers are card only readers, providing fast, secure access by simply passing a card or other transponder across the face of the unit. The readers provide visual (LED) and audible (beeper) feedback to the user.

Cardax IV Proprietary Format
With Cardax IV Proprietary format, enhanced data protection is achieved via:

Cardax Reader Technologies

125 Series
Cardax 125 Series readers support the widely available 125kHz technology, allowing multiple supported card formats to be active concurrently in the system. This complete flexibility means it is possible to integrate the use of i.e. Cardax IV proprietary cards alongside third party cards.

Mifare Series
Philips Semiconductors contactless Mifare Standard technology provides the platform for the Cardax smart card range. The benefits of Mifare Standard smart card technology include increased card data security and the ability to have multiple applications residing and operating independently on a single card. This means that the card used for Cardax access control can be a cornerstone for other smart card applications.

Integration with Long Range Readers

A high level integration has been achieved between Cardax FT and the Nedap Automatic Vehicle Identification system.
