Honeywell HON-EV28KPXPP Desfire 8K Proximity Card

Product Description

The HONEYWELL COMMERCIAL SECURITY HON-EV28KPXPP is a dual-technology proximity card combining MIFARE DESFire 8K contactless smart card functionality with a traditional 125 kHz proximity chip in a single credential. This card is used in access control systems where facilities require both high-security encrypted smart card authentication and backward compatibility with legacy proximity readers. Security integrators and commercial access control technicians install this card as a user credential in enterprise and commercial door access deployments.

This card suits commercial and enterprise access control installations where a site is migrating from legacy 125 kHz proximity-based readers toward modern encrypted contactless smart card infrastructure. The dual-technology format allows the same credential to work with both old and new reader hardware during a phased transition. Typical deployments include office buildings, campuses, healthcare facilities, and government installations requiring layered access security.

Key Features

• Dual-technology credential: DESFire 8K smart card and 125 kHz proximity chip in one card
• MIFARE DESFire 8K provides AES-based encrypted data storage for high-security access control applications
• 125 kHz prox chip enables backward compatibility with installed legacy proximity readers
• Standard credit card form factor for use in existing card holders, lanyards, and badge printers
• Sold individually (each), simplifying credential management for single-user provisioning

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style credential for commercial access control systems supporting MIFARE DESFire contactless smart card technology and standard 125 kHz proximity readers.

Installation Notes

Proximity and smart card credentials are provisioned by a licensed security integrator or access control administrator using compatible card enrollment hardware and access control management software. No tools or electrical shutoff are required for card issuance, but any configuration of the access control panel or reader firmware should be performed by qualified personnel following the system manufacturer guidelines. Cards should be programmed and tested against the target reader before issuing to end users to confirm frequency compatibility.
