HID 1597LGGAV HID Composite Smart Isoprox II Prog F-gloss B-gloss Laser # Vert. Slot
When you're managing multi-technology access deployments that need to bridge legacy prox readers with modern smart card infrastructure, credential compatibility becomes the bottleneck. The HID 1597LGGAV composite credential combines 125 kHz proximity technology with a smart chip in a single card body, letting you migrate systems without forcing a costly full-facility cutover or leaving gaps in your access hierarchy.
Key Features
- Composite construction delivers dual-technology capability—proximity and smart chip in one credential
- Isoprox II format provides compatibility with standard HID 125 kHz prox readers across existing infrastructure
- Programmable smart chip enables secure logical access, time/attendance, cashless payment integration
- Glossy finish on both front and back surfaces provides professional appearance and smooth card feel
- Laser-engraved numbering with vertical slot punched for immediate badge holder attachment
- Standard CR80 credit card dimensions ensure compatibility with existing badge holders and lanyards
- Sequential numbering simplifies credential tracking and audit trail maintenance
This credential architecture solves the phased migration problem. Deploy these cards to new users or reissue to existing cardholders, and they'll work immediately on legacy prox readers while the smart chip remains dormant. As you upgrade reader infrastructure to contact or contactless smart card technology, the same credential activates without reissuance. The glossy surface accepts thermal transfer, dye-sublimation, or retransfer printing for photo badging, while the pre-punched vertical slot eliminates the need for field punching during card personalization.
The programmable smart chip supports multiple applications on a single credential—physical access on the prox side, with logical access, secure print release, or cafeteria debit on the chip. For integrators managing long-term access control roadmaps, this dual-technology approach extends credential lifecycle and reduces the operational disruption of technology transitions. The vertical slot orientation accommodates standard badge reels and lanyards in portrait display configuration.
