Proximity Cards and Readers Articles

Proximity cards and readers are cards that can be read electronically without inserting them into a device. They are part of the new 'contactless' card scheme and only need placing near the reader to be activated. Proximity cards gain the holder access to a specialised or restricted area and can be used in all manner of situations, such as the military, airports, specialised factories or government facilities. Proximity cards and readers contain the most up-to-date biometric technology to allow for safe and secure access to restricted areas, such as government facilities, specialised laboratories and military structures. Proximity cards can also be used by employers as a 'clock in - clock out' system.
