How the compatible Apartment / building entry fob works
The Apartment / building entry fob is a dual-frequency credential operating on both 125 kHz LF and 13.56 MHz HF, so the compatible part must carry the correct data on whichever band your readers use. Its data structure is EM4100 / 26-bit Wiegand (varies by property; some HF MIFARE-UID). 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 Apartment / building entry fob 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 Various 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.
