Hotel Lock Key Cards

Orbita hotel key card compatible

13.56 MHz HF

A compatible replacement for Orbita 1K — a 13.56 MHz contactless smart card, encoded by specification to read identically on your existing readers. Order single spares or bulk quantities at a fraction of OEM list pricing.

How the compatible Orbita 1K works

The Orbita 1K is a 13.56 MHz high-frequency contactless credential read over the ISO/IEC 14443 air interface. 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 Orbita 1K by encoding the identical data structure onto a programmable Genuine NXP MIFARE Classic 1K 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 Orbita 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.

Orbita 1K — common questions

Is this a genuine Orbita card or a compatible one?

It is an independently manufactured compatible credential — engineered to the same specification as the Orbita 1K so it reads identically on your existing readers, but it is not an Orbita-branded product. Security ID Systems is independent and not affiliated with Orbita; your access-control panel accepts the credential exactly the same way.

What chip is the compatible Orbita 1K encoded on?

It is encoded on a Genuine NXP MIFARE Classic 1K programmable chip. That platform reproduces the original 13.56 MHz HF data structure precisely, so the credential presents the same information your readers already accept.

What frequency and format is the Orbita 1K?

It operates on 13.56 MHz HF. Matching that exact frequency and data structure is what makes a compatible credential work — a card on the wrong band or bit length simply will not read.
