2N Secured Card Reader NFC Ready 13.56MHz

The 2N Secured Card Reader NFC Ready 13.56MHz is a high‑performance internal RFID reader designed for seamless integration with 2N IP Force security systems. Built to support a broad range of smart card standards, including Mifare, HID iClass, and DESFire, this reader also embraces NFC capabilities, enabling effortless mobile credentials through the Android-based 2N Mobile Key app. Engineered for reliable, long‑term operation in demanding access control environments, it delivers secure credential reading, flexible deployment, and streamlined management for administrators seeking robust protection with user‑friendly convenience. Whether you’re securing a corporate campus, a retail facility, or a government building, this reader brings modern, future‑proof access control to your existing 2N ecosystem.

• Versatile credential compatibility for today and tomorrow - Designed to work with Mifare, HID iClass, DESFire and other widely adopted standards, this reader minimizes compatibility hurdles when upgrading fleets or migrating from older systems. Its flexible credential support makes it easier to consolidate multiple access programs under a single, secure solution, preserving your investments and simplifying administration as security needs evolve.
• NFC-enabled convenience with mobile credentials - Beyond traditional contactless cards, the NFC readiness supports convenient mobile credentials via Android 2N Mobile Key. Users can tap their smartphones to unlock doors, reducing the need for physical cards while maintaining stringent security controls. This frictionless experience is ideal for high-traffic sites, where quick entry speeds and ease of use translate into improved workplace productivity and visitor management.
• Precise identity data with PACS ID and uID reads - When HID iClass cards are used, the reader captures the PACS ID essential for secure identity verification. For other credential types, it reads the uID serial number, enabling precise event logging and audit trails. This capability supports robust access policies, simplifies incident investigations, and helps administrators enforce granular permissions across complex facilities.
• Compact, internal installation for a clean, secure workflow - Designed as an internal reader for the 2N IP Force platform, it integrates discreetly into door hardware and control panels. Its compact form factor minimizes intrusion into aesthetics while maintaining a reliable, tamper‑resistant presence at the point of entry. This makes it suitable for retrofits and new builds alike, delivering a streamlined security footprint without compromising performance.
• Seamless deployment with reliable software integration - The reader is built to slot into existing 2N access ecosystems with minimal disruption. It supports straightforward credential enrollment, smooth event logging, and easy integration with the surrounding access control software. Administrators can configure policies, manage permissions, and monitor access activity with confidence, benefitting from a cohesive security stack that scales with organizational needs.
