Tyco Fire and Security launches CEM xProx 200 advanced card readers 
(14/12/2006)
Tyco Fire and Security has announced the release of the CEM xProx 200 range of advanced card readers for use with CEM access control systems. The xProx 200 range is available in both traditional 125 kHz Proximity and 13.56 MHz MiFare (ISO14443A) smart card options.
The xProx 200 range complements the existing offering of CEM proximity readers by providing an advanced Mifare smart card reader solution at a cost-effective price. As well as supporting Mifare smart cards, the range offers advanced features such as a backlit LCD to display system and transaction outcomes to the cardholder, a keypad for added PIN security and an internal database that allows the reader to make access control decisions even when offline from its host controller ensuring the highest level of system resilience.
In addition, the readers have the flexibility to be connected over standard RS-485 communications to a host CEM controller panel or connect directly over Ethernet without the need for an intelligent controller panel in the system design. The flexibility offered by the xProx 200 range allows the connectivity to be changed from serial to Ethernet by simply reflashing (via factory upgrade) the reader firmware.
The xProx 200 range is available in a variety of reader options including;
InfoProx™ IPO200/210 – Proximity or MiFare reader options with LCD display, keypad and internal database; connects over RS485 comms to host controller panel
InfoProx™ Lite IPL200/210 – as above without internal database for lower cost solution
InfoProx™ Exit IPX200/210 – Egress reader for use with all xProx 200 readers
EtherProx™ EPO200/210 – as InfoProx IPO200/210 but with onboard Ethernet connectivity removing the need for an intelligent controller panel in system design.
Andrew Fulton, business development director for Tyco Fire & Security’s CEM products commented "The new xProx 200 range will help maintain the CEM access control system as one of the most advanced available. As well as offering a wealth of useful features such as LCD display and internal database, the new range is available in MiFare smart card technology as well as traditional 125 kHz Proximity technology options, ensuring that CEM is well placed to meet the growing demand for smart card solutions."
