ioSmart Smart Cards and Multi-Technology Readers provide a cost-effective migration from older proximity cards to advanced smart card technology. This family provides enhanced security through end-to-end AES-128 encryption over RS-485 when used with Kantech’s KT-1 or newer KT-400 door controllers while it can be also used with any other access controller using Wiegand protocol. The readers are available in single-gang or mullion models with integrated backlit, capacitive touch keypad support for dual factor authentication and include an intuitive LED status bar that clearly indicates various access conditions to the user. These readers can be installed in a variety of indoor or outdoor applications.

The demand for wireless technology has been on the rise as people endeavor to expand their access control system with additional doors economically. The wireless technology allows facility managers to migrate from standalone key systems or brass keys to bring more doors into the fold of electronic access control. Doing so gives them the advantage of managing more locks and doors from a central security management system. Kantech offers a wireless solution with the introduction of the ASSA ABLOY Aperio wireless lock integration that pair perfectly into new and existing EntraPass security software installations for a flexible, cost-effective wireless alternative to traditional locks.

Kantech Multi-Technology Readers provide a multi-protocol, multi-frequency solution that reads multiple 13.56 MHz smart card technologies, MIFARE® encrypted sectors, and most of the common 125 kHz proximity cards including ioProx with Kantech XSF format - all from one reader. The readers are perfect if you want to transition to smart cards over time or if you want to utilize both smart cards and proximity cards at your facility. Kantech Multi-Technology Readers make access control more powerful, more versatile, and more cost-effective by allowing you to implement a smart card solution over time. While you are transitioning to smart cards, the Multi-Technology Readers will read both the existing collection of proximity cards and smart cards.

Kantech has partnered with industry leaders to provide a high-security personnel identification system using biometrics to establish an imposter-free identity database and to verify the identity of authorized persons. Access control biometrics includes everything that requires identity authentication by scanning a person's unique physical characteristics such as fingerprints and hand geometry. Biometrics offers a superior combination of strength, affordability, convenience and ease of use. It is used where high security is a necessity such as hospitals, police, the military as well as the financial industry.

In addition to biometric identification, these solutions also offer a verification process using a card credential. These biometric solutions are available with an integrated card reader or can be connected to an external reader. Both the fingerprint reader and the hand scanner can be integrated into Kantech’s access control system.

The Polaris-2 series provides the right combination of quality and reliability. A card can be swiped through the reader in both directions and the reader’s microprocessor automatically detects and rejects read errors. The reader has four different configurable output modes (26-bit Wiegand, 34-bit Wiegand, ABA-Clock & Data and ABA-Wiegand), so that readers can be installed on existing systems. The different output modes are obtained by connecting the proper wires during installation, to program the reader. The mode can be changed by simply powering the reader down and rewiring it for the new mode. The “*” push-button on the keypad of the POL-2KP is a dry contact with a 50 mA power rating. It can be connected to an alarm panel or to an intercom’s door call input, for example.

The BC-301 Bar Code Reader uses inexpensive bar code cards and reads most common code formats , including Code 39, Interleaved 2 of 5, UPC/EAN and Codabar.

The bar code reader connects to the access control system via a simple Weigand interface.

These keypads are constructed of stainless steel and feature a one-piece rugged, compact and vandal resistant design. The keypad contains no moving parts and uses a proprietary piezo electric technology ensuring that the 12 digit keypad will perform reliably in even the most demanding environments. For maximum flexibility two LEDs (red and green) are user programmable and an annunciator beeps with each key press.
