The Legic ID card / Legic card is the most widespread in the area of access / time recording in German-speaking countries.
The advantages of Legic technology include:
1. Legic systems and cards are always secured and initialized with associated authentication media (IAM card, GAM card or similar). Without these separate authentication media, it is completely impossible to unauthorizedly create a functional ID card. If the authentication media are stored securely in a safe, then no one can jeopardize the security of your premises.
2. With Legic ID cards, the available memory can be reserved entirely for one application or divided into individual, independent segments. The individual segments are in turn protected by authentication media, so that various system integrators can securely use the medium simultaneously without interfering with each other.
3. Legic is an open standard. The decision for a Legic medium does not entail a commitment to one system integrator. Almost every well-known system integrator in Germany can use Legic technology.
General: The Legic ID card / Legic card is a contactless smart card (RFID technology) that does not require a battery and has its chip inside. The antenna and chip are not accessible from the outside and are therefore very protected inside. The chip is not contacted by the reading unit. During the process, the card chip is supplied with energy via radio waves, i.e., data exchange also takes place via radio waves. The signals are transmitted at a constantly uniform frequency of 13.56 MHz. An introduction into the reading device during writing/reading processes is therefore not necessary, i.e., if the card is, for example, in the wallet, you only need to hold it near the reading device and the reading process will start.
The sensitivity of a card depends on the card material and the technology used.
We therefore only offer high-quality cards.
To meet special requirements such as heat or mechanical stress, we can also offer cards made of PET / PC or hybrid materials. The Legic ID card has a much lower failure rate compared to other cards due to significant advances in development.
Area of application: Even in harsh environmental conditions (e.g., moisture, dirt, or mechanical influences), the ID card provides reliable service, and transactions are fast and convenient. Up to 127 applications such as BDE, parking lot access, company access, cashless payments in the canteen or at the gas station, right up to biometric high-security applications and other market needs of tomorrow are possible with the Legic ID card.
To prevent vandalism, the writing / reading unit can be installed (invisibly) directly in the masonry.
Coding specifications: A key component of the coding is the so-called "baptism." This refers to the data stored in the writing / reading unit (baptism data) which is compared with a specific data area (protection data) of the medium. Only if the data matches can the medium be read or written to. If no protection data is defined on a medium, it can in principle be read and written to by any writing / reading unit.
The baptism data record is read into a writing / reading unit with a special IAM card. Up to 16 baptism data records can be stored in a writing / reading unit. A single baptism data record can also be removed from the writing / reading unit with a baptism deletion card.
The cards are available segmented and unsegmented, but can also be combined.
Design / Printing: We design and manufacture your ID card design according to your specifications. The ID card can be printed on the front and back in one or more colors using offset or screen printing.
Finishing: Personalization (data and photo) is possible digitally on-site or as a service (also online).
Combinations with other coding types (e.g., magnetic stripe, barcode, inductive) are possible.
