TagMaster premium partner to the North American market announces support for the HID Corporate 1000 program

Stockholm, Sweden, 3 December, 2009 - TagMaster, the leading producer of advanced long-range and high-performance identification systems based on Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) systems for Automatic Vehicle Identification (AVI) solutions announced today that their partner TagMaster North America supports the HID Corporate 1000 program.

TagMaster North America, Inc. supports the HID Corporate 1000 Program. HID Global is the trusted source for secure identity solutions for millions of customers around the world. End-users aiming to standardize on a “Single Card Solution” for their access control systems can now authorize TagMaster North America - a preferred HID Provider of Access Automation and Control products - to purchase Corporate 1000 Cards directly from HID. The Corporate 1000 Program was developed in part to ensure that advanced RFID technologies continue to be developed to meet the growing and changing security demands of the workplace. Benefits of the program include enhanced security due to the unique 35-bit format tailored to each individual end-user, improved standardization to enable card use at standard HID proximity readers globally, and assured availability of the unique card format over the long-term. The flexibility and ease of use of a dual short-range / long-range access card while still compliant with the Corporate 1000 Program is now attainable using TagMaster’s CombiTag, a unique, read-only, compact, credit card-shaped ID-tag. This solution makes it possible to combine long-range 2.45 GHz technology with HID proximity solutions such as eProx and iClass. A new TagMaster ID-tag that is also available and supported by the Corporate 1000 program is the MarkTag MeM duo, a dual access ID-tag that operates with improved signal sensitivity and extended read range capabilities. This ID-tag can be mounted on the windscreen or on the dashboard, line-of-sight permitting. The ID-tag comes with a new rugged and ergonomically-friendly design.
