HID Global Compatible Cards & Fobs
HID Global (ASSA ABLOY) is the dominant access control credential brand in North America, offering a full range of products from standard 26-bit H10301 proximity cards to encrypted iCLASS SE, iCLASS Elite, and Seos smart credentials. American Key Cards supplies compatible cards and fobs for HID's standard 125 kHz proximity formats (H10301, H10302, H10304, Corporate 1000 35-bit and 48-bit, and legacy iCLASS); HID's iCLASS SE, iCLASS Elite, and Seos formats use AES-based encryption that prevents any third-party duplication, and AKC is transparent about this distinction.
