The landscape of physical access control is rapidly evolving, demanding devices that can handle multiple credential types without sacrificing security. Rosslare’s innovative Multi-Smart Secure Reader (AY-K35-S) series meets this challenge head-on, offering an unparalleled versatile and high-security solution.
Multi-Technology Versatility
The core strength of the AY-K35-S series is its ability to support an extensive range of credential technologies simultaneously. This multi-technology capability ensures a smooth transition path for organizations looking to upgrade their security systems without forcing an immediate, costly replacement of existing user credentials.
The RFID Reader supports:
- Wireless Mobile Access:
- BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy): Enables modern, secure access via smartphones and wearable devices.
- NFC (Near Field Communication): Allows for tap-and-go mobile access and other proximity-based credentials.
- Traditional RFID Card Technologies:
- 125 kHz Proximity Cards: Supports legacy low-frequency credentials (e.g., EM, HID Prox).
- 13.56 MHz Smart Cards: Supports high-frequency smart cards, which offer greater memory and security features (e.g., Mifare, DESFire).
This wide-ranging support makes the AY-K35-S a future-proof investment that accommodates the shift towards mobile credentials while maintaining compatibility with installed card bases.
Enhanced Security and Customization
For higher-security environments, the Multi-Smart Secure series incorporates several key features designed to protect sensitive data and prevent unauthorized access:
- Advanced Encryption: The series adds enhanced protection through DESFire® EV3 encryption. This state-of-the-art encryption standard provides secure, mutual authentication between the card and the reader, significantly protecting the credential data against skimming, cloning, and replay attacks.
- Secure Credential Management: The reader supports Rosslare’s KeyCard Studio. This specialized software allows for secure credential programming and customized key management. By enabling organizations to manage their own encryption keys and credential formats, it ensures a closed and highly secure system, making it the ideal choice for higher-security applications requiring customized credential management.
The combination of multi-technology support and robust encryption makes the Rosslare AY-K35-S a powerful and flexible platform for modern access control needs.
