2N 02788-001 MIFARE DESFire EV3 Fobs

Axis 02788-001 2N MIFARE DESFire EV3 Fobs

The Axis 02788-001 is a 10-pack of 2N MIFARE DESFire EV3 contactless credential fobs engineered for enterprise access control and identity management systems. Delivering industry-standard smart card technology with 4K memory capacity per unit, these fobs provide secure, scalable credential infrastructure for multi-tenant facilities, data centers, and managed office environments. Pre-configured for seamless integration with Axis and 2N networked access control platforms, they reduce deployment complexity and encoding overhead.

Key Features

• MIFARE DESFire EV3 Compliance: Industry-standard contactless smart card technology ensures broad compatibility with enterprise access control readers and third-party systems across distributed security deployments
• 4K Memory Capacity: Each fob includes 4096 bytes of programmable storage, supporting multiple credential types, organizational identifiers, and application-specific data on a single unit
• AES Encryption & Mutual Authentication: Advanced security architecture protects against credential cloning, replay attacks, and unauthorized access attempts
• Contactless Interface: 13.56 MHz ISO/IEC 14443 Type A standard enables fast, reliable read/write operations without physical contact
• 10-Unit Pack Configuration: Bulk packaging optimized for enterprise roll-outs, facility buildouts, and managed credential issuance programs
• Platform Integration Ready: Pre-configured for Axis Access Control and 2N ecosystem deployment, minimizing integration time and credential preparation

Technical Highlights

The MIFARE DESFire EV3 platform supports advanced cryptographic protocols including 3DES and AES-128 encryption, enabling organizations to implement multi-application credentials on a single fob. With 4K storage capacity, each unit can store multiple independent credential applications, reducing the need for multiple physical fobs per user. The mutual authentication mechanism ensures that both the fob and reader verify each other's legitimacy, preventing man-in-the-middle attacks and unauthorized cloning attempts.

Ideal Applications

• Multi-tenant office buildings and corporate campuses requiring scalable credential infrastructure
• Data center and secure facility access control with stringent authentication requirements
• Managed service providers deploying credentials across multiple customer locations
• Enterprise credential issuance and identity management programs
• Facilities transitioning from legacy magnetic stripe or proximity cards to modern encrypted standards

The DESFire EV3 platform represents the gold standard in contactless smart card technology for enterprise access control. Unlike proximity or magnetic stripe credentials, DESFire EV3 fobs employ mutual authentication and AES encryption, making them significantly more resistant to cloning and unauthorized replication. The 4K memory capacity allows administrators to consolidate multiple credential applications—access control, time & attendance, cashless payment, or visitor management—onto a single physical fob, reducing user friction and operational complexity.

For organizations standardized on Axis or 2N infrastructure, these pre-configured fobs integrate without custom encoding, accelerating deployment timelines. The 10-unit pack format suits both pilot deployments and larger roll-outs, making this an essential credential component for modern access control ecosystems.
