IS IT TIME TO UPGRADE YOUR Card TECHNOLOGY?

We make it easy to efficiently expand and upgrade credential platforms.

For many organizations, initiating this change may seem daunting. J. O’Brien has the expertise and end-­to-­end capabilities to cover the scope of your credential platform upgrade. We partner with HID® to create a solution that makes this technology work for your organization’s specific needs. Upgrading to a new, more dynamic card platform can be much more secure than maintaining older, static technologies. When upgrading there are two approaches to choose from depending on your needs: changing readers or changing cards.

We also offer HID® mobile access integration – providing higher levels of authentication in physical access control.

Both options have advantages, and we will work with you to determine which method is the best fit for your organization. Once your implementation strategy has been decided upon, the transition to a more secure, functional system can begin. Your new HID® access card platform will also provide you with the ability to adapt to future requirements and give you the flexibility to stay up-to-date with new technology as it is released.

Changing Readers:

  • New readers will support both old, low-frequency and new, high-frequency technologies, enabling an organization to develop an upgrade plan where rebadging is done gradually rather than all at once.

  • New high-frequency cards are issued to new employees, and existing employees are given new cards as time and budget permit. 
  • This offers a single card solution, particularly useful in mixed technology environments.


Changing Cards:

  • This approach starts with a complete rebadging using multi-technology smart cards. Readers are replaced gradually, as time and budget allow.

  • Works for organizations who initially want to upgrade security for a specific group – allowing card access regardless of whether an old or new reader is in use.
