2N 02773-001 AU2.0 RFID Reader

Axis 02773-001 2N AU2.0 RFID Reader

The Axis Communications 02773-001 is a multi-frequency RFID reader designed for IP-based access control and identity verification in physical security deployments. This networked reader integrates 125kHz, 13.56MHz, and NFC technologies into a single device, supporting both legacy and modern credential systems. With PICard Secured architecture protecting credential data, it is ideal for medium to high-security installations where access integrity and asset protection are critical.

Key Features

• Multi-Frequency RFID Support: Operates across 125kHz (legacy proximity cards), 13.56MHz (MIFARE and iClass systems), and NFC standards, eliminating the need for separate reader hardware
• PICard Secured Technology: Implements encryption and authentication protocols to prevent credential cloning and unauthorized access attempts
• Network-Based Architecture: IP-connected reader integrates with Axis security infrastructure and third-party VMS/access control platforms via standard network protocols
• Compact Form Factor: 2N AU2.0 design suitable for wall, pedestal, or integration mounting in access control points and entry checkpoints
• Industry-Standard Credential Compatibility: Supports multiple card types and standards, simplifying credential verification workflows across diverse security ecosystems

Technical Highlights

The reader's network-based architecture allows direct integration with existing Axis systems and third-party access control platforms, reducing installation complexity and enabling centralized credential management. The compact 2N AU2.0 form factor makes it suitable for deployment in reception areas, entry checkpoints, and restricted access zones without requiring extensive infrastructure modifications.

PICard Secured protection ensures that credential data remains encrypted both in transit and at rest, mitigating risks associated with credential interception or cloning. This is particularly valuable in facilities managing high-value assets or controlling access to restricted areas where unauthorized entry poses significant operational or security risks.

Applications

• Corporate offices and reception areas requiring multi-credential support
• Data centers and server rooms with restricted access requirements
• Healthcare facilities managing patient and staff access control
• Manufacturing and warehouse environments with legacy card systems
• Government and defense installations requiring encrypted credential verification
