i-PRO MC-20NKS HID Multi Class Signo Reader with Bluetooth
When you're upgrading legacy Wiegand access systems or deploying hybrid credential environments, the i-PRO MC-20NKS delivers the multi-technology read capability you need without forcing a complete infrastructure overhaul. This reader handles HID proximity, iCLASS, and mobile credentials via Bluetooth in a single form factor, giving you the flexibility to support existing card populations while gradually migrating to higher-security formats or mobile credentialing.
Key Features
- Multi-technology support: reads HID Prox, iCLASS SE, iCLASS SR, and Seos credentials from a single reader head
- Integrated Bluetooth Low Energy for mobile credentials via smartphone apps
- Signo platform compatibility ensures secure communications and future-proof credential support
- Standard Wiegand output simplifies integration with existing access panels and controllers
- Vandal-resistant housing suitable for exterior door installations
- LED and beeper feedback for user interaction and system diagnostics
- Compatible with HID Mobile Access and third-party mobile credential platforms
- Supports multiple read ranges and formats depending on credential type deployed
The MC-20NKS addresses a common migration challenge: you've got hundreds or thousands of proximity cards in circulation, but you need to add mobile access for certain user groups or prepare for a future transition to encrypted credentials. Rather than running parallel readers or forcing an immediate forklift replacement, this multi-technology approach lets you phase credential upgrades on your timeline while maintaining one reader per door. The Bluetooth capability means you can start enrolling smartphones immediately for users who need it—executives, contractors with temporary access, or employees who prefer touchless entry—without waiting for new card stock.
Integration follows standard Wiegand protocols, so this reader drops into existing access panels from most major manufacturers without firmware changes or custom drivers. The Signo platform support means the reader can authenticate Seos credentials with full encryption and mutual authentication, future-proofing your deployment as you move away from legacy formats. For integrators managing phased upgrades across multiple sites, the MC-20NKS simplifies inventory and reduces the number of reader SKUs you need to stock while giving clients the credential flexibility they're increasingly demanding.
