HID 1431BGGMVM HID Prox & Mifare Dual-Technology Proximity Reader
When your access control deployment spans multiple credential technologies—legacy 125 kHz Prox cards alongside newer 13.56 MHz Mifare—you need a reader that handles both without forcing a forklift upgrade. This dual-technology reader from HID reads both Prox and Mifare credentials in a single housing, letting you migrate credential types on your timeline while maintaining full backward compatibility with existing cards.
Key Features
- Dual-technology support reads both 125 kHz HID Prox and 13.56 MHz Mifare credentials
- Single reader installation eliminates need for separate hardware during credential migration
- Wiegand output interface ensures compatibility with existing access control panels
- Ruggedized housing designed for commercial indoor/outdoor installations
- LED and beeper feedback provide clear read confirmation for end users
- Supports standard HID card formats and facility codes
- Weatherproof construction suitable for exterior door applications
- Mullion-mount form factor fits standard single-gang openings
This reader solves the common integration challenge of supporting two credential ecosystems simultaneously. Whether you're gradually phasing out Prox cards in favor of Mifare's enhanced security and memory capacity, or maintaining separate credential types for different user groups, the dual-technology approach eliminates the complexity of running parallel reader infrastructure. The Wiegand interface means direct drop-in compatibility with Mercury, Software House, Lenel, and other major panels—no protocol conversion required.
Installation follows standard single-gang mounting conventions with typical four-wire connections (power, ground, data 0, data 1). The reader's mullion profile keeps a low visual footprint while the weatherproof design handles exposure in covered exterior applications. For deployments where credential flexibility matters—multi-tenant buildings, phased technology rollouts, or environments with mixed card populations—this reader delivers the read range and reliability HID is known for across both frequency bands.
