How the compatible Standard 26-bit Wiegand (open/generic, cross-OEM) works
The Standard 26-bit Wiegand (open/generic, cross-OEM) is a 125 kHz low-frequency proximity credential — the band most legacy prox readers use. Its data structure is 26-bit H10301 (8-bit facility + 16-bit card + leading/trailing parity), used industry-wide by Paradox, Keri NXT-C, DoorKing, Pyramid, SecuraKey, Rosslare, ZKTeco, Camden, DMP 1326, IEI ProxCard II, Linear ISO125-A, Nortek, PDK Standard, etc. When you present a credential, the reader decodes that exact structure and passes it to your access-control panel as a card number it recognises.
We build the compatible Standard 26-bit Wiegand (open/generic, cross-OEM) by encoding the identical data structure onto a programmable T5577 / EM4305 chip. Once written, the reader cannot tell the difference between our credential and the original — it presents the same bits, the same facility code, and the same card number. That is what "compatible by specification" means: not a generic look-alike, but a credential engineered to read exactly as the original does, matched to your facility code and card-number range.
To order, tell us the part number or format printed on your existing Open card, along with your facility code and card-number range, and our specialists confirm the encoding before anything ships. Bulk and reorder quantities are welcome — pricing is a fraction of OEM list, and every credential is verified to read on your existing equipment.
