Identiv announces new Primis Access Control readers

FREMONT, Calif. —Identiv, Inc., a global provider of physical security and secure identification, has released a new security solution - Primis Access Control readers, designed to get any organization’s entry-level access control up and running in under 10 minutes.

Access control is essential to any successful physical security strategy today, with cutting-edge technologies - like cloud-based remote physical access control - entirely transforming security’s capabilities. Identiv’s Primis Access Control Readers are the company’s newest solution to secure, flexible and simple access control at an affordable cost.

Primis brings the latest technology to traditional access control systems by supporting both smart card and proximity-based access control credentials. 

The entry-level readers are designed to work in the government or commercial space and are ideal for schools, banks, apartment complexes, retail establishments, or any environment that: 

·       Uses multiple credential populations (i.e., proximity and smart card)

·       Needs to migrate from one credential technology to another

·       Requires support for single-site, multi-tenant access control systems 

Primis is available in three different finishes (matte black, gloss black, or matte white) granting even greater flexibility to meet the needs of a specific installation. Customers or sites requiring customization can request unique faceplates using the Primis Premiere program, providing greater brand exposure. 

Key benefits of the technology include: 

Easy Credentials Migration 

· Primis Readers support low-frequency (125 kHz) proximity credentials, tags, and fobs, and high-frequency (13.56 MHz) credentials, including MIFARE and DESFire, simplifying the transition from legacy to smart card-based access control credentials. Primis is based on the industry standard Wiegand protocol and is compatible with most physical access installation

Compact Access Control Footprint 

· Primis Readers feature a mini-mullion footprint, are ideal for tight space requirements, and are easy to install practically anywhere.
