ESSENTIA is the ideal solution for systems requiring user identification and access control through RFID technology.
The device meets the requirements of various application scenarios, including:
• Corporate access control: secure management of access to offices and restricted areas.
• Industrial environments: monitoring and managing access to production departments and hazardous areas.
• Hospitality and commercial facilities: combining technical performance, ease of use and an elegant design.
• High-security areas: two-factor authentication (RFID badge + PIN code) to enhance the security of access points.
FAQ
What is an RFID reader?
An RFID reader is a device that identifies an RFID tag or card through radio communication. In access control systems, the reader can verify user credentials and grant or deny access.
What frequency does ESSENTIA operate at?
ESSENTIA operates in the HF band at 13.56 MHz.
Does ESSENTIA support MIFARE Classic?
Yes. ESSENTIA supports MIFARE Classic, with automatic reading of the UID and protected blocks.
Can a PIN code be used?
Yes. The version with an integrated touch keypad allows access via a PIN code, either on its own or in combination with an RFID tag for two-factor authentication.
Does ESSENTIA support multi-factor authentication?
Yes. The version with a touch keypad allows an RFID tag and PIN code to be combined, enabling multi-factor authentication.
How are passwords managed?
Passwords are processed and stored directly in the terminal, preventing credentials from being transmitted over the communication channel to the master controller.
Which RFID standards does ESSENTIA support?
ESSENTIA supports MIFARE Classic, MIFARE Ultralight, ISO 14443-B, ISO 15693-3 and ISO 14443-4.
How does the reader indicate the reading result?
The device uses an LED bar and a multi-frequency buzzer to provide immediate feedback on the status and result of the reading.
