How the compatible EM4450 / EM4550 (read/write 125 kHz memory) works
The EM4450 / EM4550 (read/write 125 kHz memory) is a 125 kHz low-frequency proximity credential — the band most legacy prox readers use. Its data structure is Page-organized read/write 1Kbit LF memory. 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 EM4450 / EM4550 (read/write 125 kHz memory) 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.
To order, tell us the part number or format printed on your existing EM Microelectronic card, 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.
