HID 2122BGGMNM Composite iClass/Prox 16K/16 Prog F-G Credential
When you're managing a phased migration from legacy 125 kHz prox to iClass security, or supporting a facility that runs both technologies side-by-side, you need credentials that work across both platforms without forcing users to carry multiple cards. The HID 2122BGGMNM composite credential combines iClass 16K secure contactless technology with standard prox compatibility in a single, durable card, eliminating the need for dual-credential issuance during transition periods or in mixed-technology environments.
Key Features
- Dual-technology design supports both iClass 13.56 MHz and proximity 125 kHz readers on a single credential
- 16K bit memory with 16 application areas provides secure storage for multiple access applications and future expansion
- Programmable format allows customization to match existing site codes and facility configurations
- Composite construction delivers durability for high-use environments while maintaining reliable read performance
- FlexSecur technology enables secure identity data storage with HID's encryption standards
- Standard CR80 credit card form factor fits existing badge holders and printer systems
- Format-G configuration provides compatibility with common access control platforms
The composite construction uses a polyester-PVC laminate that withstands daily wear better than standard PVC credentials, particularly important during extended migration periods where cards may see years of service. The dual-frequency chipset allows the same credential to authenticate at legacy prox readers in parking or perimeter areas while using the more secure iClass authentication for interior doors, server rooms, or high-security zones. This eliminates the workflow complications and cost overhead of issuing separate credentials for different security zones.
The programmable aspect is critical for integrators managing custom facility codes or working with organizations that have specific numbering schemes already deployed. You can configure the credential to match existing access control databases without forcing a complete system reconfiguration. The 16 application areas on the 16K chip let you segment access rights, store biometric templates, handle cashless vending, or manage time and attendance functions on a single card. For multi-building campuses or organizations consolidating separate security systems, this capacity supports both current requirements and future credential applications without reissuing cards.
