HID®/Sensor Compatible Wiegand Cards

WCCI

Secura Key is currently the sole supplier of Wiegand Cards to the access control industry, with the exit of HID® Global from the Wiegand manufacturing business.

Many access control customers continue to use the original Wiegand technology because the readers are reliable, weatherproof units, and the cards do not wear out. Wiegand cards are virtually impossible to counterfeit, can't be altered or copied, and are immune to external magnetic fields or RF interference. An embedded Wiegand code strip, containing small pieces of specially-processed wire, is laminated under pressure to create a solid vinyl card. Any attempt to reach the code strip destroys the card.

Secura Key Wiegand Cards (WCCI) are fully compatible with HID and Sensor Engineering Wiegand-effect swipe and insert readers, and are available in the popular SIA 26-bit Wiegand format, as well as other Wiegand formats up to 40 bits.

Secura Key Wiegand Cards are strong and flexible, resistant to breaking, and extremely reliable over a broad range of temperature and humidity ranges. They can be carried with credit cards in a wallet or purse.

The Secura Key Wiegand Card has a standard CR80 form factor, which can be used in most direct image printers, allowing easy customization with multicolored graphics. It can be slot punched horizontally for easy use with a strap and clip as a photo ID badge. An un-encoded, high-coercivity laminated magnetic stripe is optionally available. The magnetic stripe meets ISO 7811 requirements. Custom artwork is also available as an option. External laser engraved card numbering is included.

Secura Key Multi-Technology Wiegand Cards incorporate both Wiegand and Proximity or various Contactless Smart Card technologies in a single package. This allows Wiegand card customers an upgrade path to proximity or Contactless Smart Card technology. The Proximity chip can be formatted for use with HID® or Secura Key prox readers. The e*Tag® chip is available with 2k bits of memory, and card data is DES encrypted using 64 bit diversified keys. Other 13.56 MHz chip technologies, such as MIFARE and DESFire are available. Contact factory for details.
