ProdataKey Line Couples Convenience With Security

PDK Red Release
July 26, 2021

The Red 2 Controller, Red Readers and Red High-Security Credentials are all components of ProdataKey’s new high-security line of hardware called PDK Red. The new Red Readers support Red 13.56 MHz high-security smart credentials, 125 kHz proximity cards, and mobile access options. OSDP and Weigand protocols are supported. The devices may be used indoors and outdoors, and accommodate multiple technologies within a single unit. Mullion, keypad, and single gang form factors are available. Red Readers are enabled for secure channel and remote firmware upgrades and autodetect. Red 2 is a two-door controller that includes built-in Ethernet connectivity and self-discovery. It is equipped with OSDP functionality, an onboard power supply and a fully supervised power circuit that monitors input, output, battery voltage and overall controller health. Red High-Security Credentials are available as 13.56 MHz smart cards or smart fobs. Smart credentials contain a computer chip programmed with personal information about the cardholder and permissions for where they can enter. In addition to providing more secure physical access control, they can be programmed to control logical access to corporate IT networks. The Red High-Security credentials feature 8K of memory and can be read from a distance of up to 3 in. for printable cards and mag stripe cards and up to 1 in. for key fobs.
