Unified Card Integration

The RF IDEAS RDR-6G82AKU desktop reader enables organisations to extend existing employee ID badges into new software applications. It reads both proximity and magnetic stripe credentials from a single device. This eliminates the need for separate enrolment processes or additional hardware on each workstation.

Three-Range Proximity Operation

The reader offers three selectable operating ranges for proximity cards, allowing installers to tune read distance to the physical environment. Magnetic stripe reading requires direct contact with the integrated slot. No contactless smart-card protocols are supported by this model.

82 Series Platform Compatibility

Built on the 82 series platform, the unit is engineered for broad compatibility with proximity and magnetic stripe technologies used worldwide. Buyers requiring support for contactless smart cards such as iCLASS or DESFire should verify alternative models.

Questions about this item

What does the operating range of 3 mean when the reader is on my desk?

Operating range 3 indicates the rated read distance for proximity cards; actual performance depends on card type and orientation at the desktop.
