Key Benefits
- Universal Compatibility: The HID OMNIKEY® reader is a dual-frequency device that supports both low and high-frequency credentials, including mDLs from Apple Wallet, Google Wallet, and Samsung Wallet, as well as traditional physical cards.
- Seamless Verification: Our proprietary "Verify with Credence" software platform (not included) processes data from the mDL instantly and securely, providing you with a clear and definitive verification result. It's designed to be simple, fast, and reliable.
- Easy Integration & Operation: The reader's Keyboard Wedge functionality retrieves data and presents it directly to your existing applications by emulating keyboard strokes. This means no complex software integration is needed—simply plug and play.
- Enhanced Security & Privacy: The system utilizes Apple’s Enhanced Contactless Polling (ECP) technology and meets the highest industry standards (ISO/IEC 18013-5). This ensures that only the necessary information (e.g., age, identity) is securely shared during a transaction, protecting customer privacy and reducing fraud.
- Durable and User-Friendly Design: The compact and robust reader is built for daily use in various environments. It features a status indicator light for clear feedback and a card holder for easy, hands-free operation.
