HID released RP40 multiCLASS Reader

Product Profile

HID Global, premier manufacturer of access control readers and cards, showed for the first time in EMEA on their new corporate stand at IFSEC, the RP40 MultiCLASS reader, which is a multi-technology Prox and iCLASS reader.

The RP40 is a multi-technology card reader designed for customers upgrading their current card system from HID Prox to iCLASS® credentials.  With the RP40 reader, the customer has the ability to transition to smart cards over time while incorporating the use of multiple card technologies within a single building or across multiple facilities.

Unlike contactless smart card serial number readers, with the RP40 multiCLASS™ reader, you get enhanced security through mutual authentication and data encryption.

Only the RP40 provides true iCLASS security, the ease of Prox, the power of smart cards and the confidence of choosing HID, the worldwide leader in access control.
