Proximity - Mifare Cards

Proximity cards and Mifare cards are designed to be used with card printers for printing, either blank or printed, in hybrid devices or card readers  . These cards are used in access control systems and personnel tracking systems.

Key Differences Between Proximity Cards and Mifare Cards:

1. Operational Frequency: Mifare cards operate at 13.56 MHz, while Proximity cards operate at 125 kHz. This difference allows Mifare cards to be read faster and from a greater distance.
2. Storage Capacity: Mifare cards typically have a data storage capacity of 1 kilobyte, allowing them to store user information, ID numbers, or other data. Proximity cards, on the other hand, are only used for access control and do not have this capacity.
3. Technical Features: Mifare cards operate at HF frequency and are suitable for more complex processes and functions. Proximity cards use simpler RFID systems and are suitable for simpler processes.

These differences provide important information for businesses to determine the purpose and processes for which the cards will be used. Mifare cards are more suitable for complex processes and data storage, while Proximity cards are preferred for simpler access control processes.
