According to the company, since HID Global recently notified its customers that it is obsoleting its Wiegand card and reader line as of the end of this month, except for some Iclass/Wiegand transition cards, which will be offered through to the end of April, then Secura Key will be the only supplier of such products to the industry.

Secura Key also manufactures multi-technology Wiegand cards, such as Wiegand + Contactless, for those who would like to transition to a newer card technology. Multi-technology transition cards allow the end-user to keep using their system, while replacing the Wiegand swipe readers at their own pace. Secura Key’s E*tag readers output SIA standard Wiegand data, and can easily replace existing Wiegand swipe readers, using the existing field wiring.

Secura Key manufactures Wiegand + Mifare, and Wiegand + Desfire dual-technology cards, as well as special Mifare and Desfire compatible E*tag readers. Secura Key has already provided these transition cards and readers for a major multi-national transportation company. Secura Key can manufacture Wiegand cards in virtually any format, if the technical specification for the format is provided.

Secura Key also offers custom card printing capability, with the latest digital 4-colour printing technology from Hewlett Packard. Secura Key offers Wiegand Cards in matt or glossy (graphics quality) finish, with available features such as magnetic stripe, slot punching, laser engraving and ink jetting.
